Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a super self-aligned heterojunction bipolar transistor which is capable of miniaturizing an element, simplifying the process step thereof by employing a selective collector epitaxial growth process without using a trench for isolating between elements. According to the invention, isolation between elements is derived by using a mask defining an emitter region and a second spacer. The base layer has multi-layer structure being made of a Si, an undoped SiGe, a SiGe doped a p-type impurity in-situ and Si. Also, the selective epitaxial growth for a base is not required. Thus, it can be less prone to a flow of leakage current or an emitter-base-collector short effect.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a T-shaped gate electrode of a high speed semiconductor device such as HEMTs which is applied to high speed logic circuit including low-noise receivers and power amplifiers having a frequency of X-band or more respectively, and MMICs having a frequency of millimeter wave band. Such devices require a short gate length and a large sectional area of the gate pattern. The conventional photolithography techniques are in need of the resolution for fabricating a fine line width. Therefore, electron-beam lithography is most widely used. But, it is difficult to enhance throughput in manufacturing semiconductor devices because a lot of exposure time is required in the methods using electron beams. In the present invention, a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film is deposited on a mono-layered resist pattern. A dummy pattern corresponding to a leg of the gate is formed using the silicon oxide film or the silicon nitride film.

Abstract: A silicon/silicon-germanium bipolar transistor fabrication method employs a metallic silicide film as an extrinsic base electrode to reduce resistance of the extrinsic base electrode, and to increase a maximum oscillation frequency and cut-off frequency due to its self-aligned structure. The fabrication method enables agglomeration to occur on the side wall of the polycrystalline silicon film connected to the metallic silicide film instead of on the interface between the metallic silicide film and the lower silicon/silicon-germanium film, and leads the extrinsic base electrode to be sandwitched by the insulator films, thereby realizing a constant resistance and also resulting in the application of integrated circuits to a mass production mechanism.
