  • Publication number: 20160247797
    Abstract: A layout structure of HBTs comprising one or more HBTs, each of which comprises a base electrode, an emitter electrode, and a collector electrode. A passive layer, a first dielectric layer, a collector redistribution layers, one or more emitter copper pillars, and one or more collector copper pillars are formed above the one or more HBTs. The passive layer comprises a collector and an emitter pads. The first dielectric layer has one or more emitter and collector via holes. The emitter copper pillar is disposed on the emitter via hole and forms an electrical connection to the emitter electrode. The collector copper pillar is disposed on the collector redistribution layer and forms electrical connection to the collector electrode. The layout design of the emitter and collector copper pillars is therefore flexible, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.
