Abstract: A photo diode includes a buried layer of first conductivity type, an epitaxial layer of first conductivity type and an epitaxial layer second conductivity type which are sequentially formed on a semiconductor substrate, a doped shallow junction layer of second conductivity type which is formed using a solid state diffusion process from a surface region to an internal region of the epitaxial layer of second conductivity type, and a silicon oxide film pattern and a silicon nitride film pattern which are sequentially formed on the shallow junction layer.

Abstract: There is provided a bipolar transistor (with a respective fabrication method) that provides superior noise characteristics and gain diffusion. The fabricating method includes forming a first base region at a collector region, which in turn is formed on a substrate. A first silicon layer is formed on the base region, and a second silicon layer is formed on the first silicon layer using a forming method different from the method used in forming the first silicon layer. An emitter region is then formed from impurities at the base region by performing a thermal process.

Abstract: A photo-detecting device includes a buried doping layer of a first conductivity type and disposed at an upper portion of a silicon substrate. A first silicon epitaxial layer of first conductivity type is disposed on the buried doping layer, and a second silicon epitaxial layer of second conductivity type is disposed on the first silicon epitaxial layer. An isolation doping layer doped of first conductivity type is disposed at a predetermined region of the second silicon epitaxial layer to define a body region of second conductivity type. A silicon germanium epitaxial layer of second conductivity type is disposed on the body region.

Abstract: Photodiodes and methods of fabricating photodiodes are provided. For example, a method of fabricating a photodiode includes forming a buried layer of a first conductive type on a semiconductor substrate and forming a first intrinsic capping epitaxial layer on the buried layer. A first intrinsic epitaxial layer of the first conductive type is formed on the first intrinsic capping epitaxial layer. A first junction region of the first conductive type is formed in the first intrinsic epitaxial layer. A second intrinsic epitaxial layer of the second conductive type is formed on the first junction region and the first intrinsic epitaxial layer. A second intrinsic capping epitaxial layer is formed on the second intrinsic epitaxial layer. A second junction region of the first conductive type is formed such that the second junction region passes through the second intrinsic capping epitaxial layer and the second intrinsic epitaxial layer. The second junction region contacts the first junction region.
