Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor processing including epitaxial growth of a semiconductor material, and more particularly for some examples, to semiconductor processing integration for a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). In an example, a device includes a semiconductor substrate, a pedestal dielectric stack over the substrate, and a BJT on the substrate. The pedestal dielectric stack includes nitrogen at an interface between first and second sub-layers of the pedestal dielectric stack. An opening is through the pedestal dielectric stack to the substrate. The opening is defined at least in part by a retrograde sidewall, which is retrograde into the pedestal dielectric stack from distal from the substrate to proximate the substrate. At least a first portion of the BJT is on an upper surface of the substrate and in the opening through the pedestal dielectric stack. At least a second portion of the BJT is over the pedestal dielectric stack.

A ratio of an etch rate of the first dielectric layer by the etchant to an etch rate of the second dielectric layer by the etchant is in a range from 0.10 to 4. The recess in the semiconductor substrate is filled with a dielectric material.

Abstract: A system may receive a first resource allocation request (associated with a first company) from a first entity. The system may determine that the first request is not associated with a risk relationship and arrange for it to be processed via a claim servicing entity. Information about the first request may then be routed to a request handler device for processing and a communication with a first graphical indication may be generated. The system may also receive a second resource allocation request (associated with the first company) from a second entity and determine that it is to be processed via a risk. The system may then route information about the second request to a request handler device for processing and generate a communication with a second graphical indication. Note that the request handler device may be the same device that received the information about the first request.
