Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating a transistor structure, comprising at least a first and a second bipolar transistor having different collector widths. The invention is distinguished by the fact that all junctions between differently doped regions have a sharp interface. In this case, by way of example, a first collector region 2.1 is suitable for a high-frequency transistor with high limiting frequencies fT and a second collector region 2.2 is suitable for a high-voltage transistor with increased breakdown voltages.

Abstract: A bipolar transistor comprising a collector region of a first conduction type, and a subcollector region of the first conduction type at a first side of the collector region. The transistor further includes a base region of the second conduction type provided at a second side of the collector region, and an emitter region of the first conduction type which is provided above the base region on the side remote from the collection region. A carbon-doped semiconductor region is provided on the first side alongside the collector region. The bipolar transistor is characterized in that the carbon-doped semiconductor region has a carbon concentration of 1019-1021 cm?3 and the base region has a smaller cross section than the collector region and the collector region has, in the overlap region with the base region, a region having an increased doping compared with the remaining region.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for parallel production of an MOS transistor in an MOS area of a substrate and a bipolar transistor in a bipolar area of the substrate. The method comprises generating an MOS preparation structure in the MOS area, wherein the MOS preparation structure comprises an area provided for a channel, a gate dielectric, a gate electrode layer and a mask layer on the gate electrode layer. Further, a bipolar preparation structure is generated in the bipolar area, which comprises a conductive layer and a mask layer on the conductive layer. The mask layer is thinned in the area of the gate electrode. For determining a gate electrode and a base terminal area, common structuring of the gate electrode layer and the conductive layer is performed.

Abstract: The bipolar transistor is produced such that a connection region of its base is provided with a silicide layer, so that a base resistance of the bipolar transistor is small. No silicide layer is produced between an emitter and an emitter contact and between a connection region of a collector and a collector contact. The base is produced by in situ-doped epitaxy in a region in which a first insulating layer is removed by isotropic etching such that the connection region of the base which is arranged on the first insulating layer is undercut. In order to avoid defects of a substrate in which the bipolar transistor is partly produced, isotropic etching is used for the patterning of auxiliary layers, whereby etching is selective with respect to auxiliary layers lying above, which are patterned by anisotropic etching.

Abstract: During the production of integrated semiconductor structures, it is often necessary to differently dope immediately adjacent regions. A method is provided for producing two adjacent regions of a predetermined area in an integrated semiconductor, whereby a first region of the two adjacent regions includes a doping with a lower target concentration than a second region. The predetermined area of a semiconductor blank is doped with a dopant until a concentration of the dopant is obtained that is at least as high as the target concentration of the second region. A protective layer is applied to the second region, and the dopant is out-diffused from the first region until a concentration of dopant is obtained that corresponds to the target concentration of the first region.

Abstract: The plant comprises a first vacuum plate with openings on which a sheet may be fixed in an exact planar way by suction. A second plate with a slightly arcuated surface and turned towards the first plate is adjustable in height by two compressing cylinders and is pivotingly fixed to the structure. The second plate is also a vacuum plate and may be unrolled on the first plate. During the unrolling motion, the second plate is conducted by means of retractable bolts which are engaged into corresponding openings of the first plate. To compress two sheets, a first sheet is fixed in an exact planar way to the first plate by suction and transferred by an unrolling motion of the second plate thereon, the suction force of the plate being reduced and that of the second plate being correspondingly increased. A second sheet is then fixed to the first plate and cold- or hot-compressed according to the same unrolling process as the first sheet.
