Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a device isolation layer disposed in a portion of a substrate of first conductivity type. An outline of the device isolation layer defines an active region of the substrate. An impurity diffused region of second conductivity type may be formed in a portion of the active region; and a silicide layer may be formed to cover the impurity diffused region of second conductivity type. The device isolation layer may include a recess formed therein to expose a portion of the substrate of first conductivity type adjacent to the impurity diffused region of second conductivity type. The silicide layer that is formed to cover the impurity diffused layer of second conductivity type may extend over and against the exposed region of the substrate of first conductivity type that was exposed by the recess of the device isolation layer.

Abstract: A first conduction type well is formed in a substrate, and a second conduction type impurity region is formed in the well. A lower interlayer dielectric is formed on the substrate, including the well and the impurity region. A contact plug, connected to the impurity region through the lower interlayer dielectric, is formed with a void inside it. An upper interlayer dielectric is formed on the lower interlayer dielectric and the contact plug. The upper interlayer dielectric is selectively etched, forming an interconnection groove exposing the contact plug. The contact plug and the exposed void are overetched, extending the void into the first conduction type well. The interconnection groove is filled with a conductive layer, forming an interconnection. A seam extending to the well is formed in the void, connecting the contact plug to the well. Due to the seam, a well bias may be applied to the well.

Abstract: In a bipolar transistor and the manufacturing method thereof, the bipolar transistor includes a first conductive well, an emitter impurity layer formed in the center of the well, a base impurity layer formed in the form of completely surrounding the emitter impurity layer, and a first conductive high-concentration collector impurity layer having an annular shape along the edge of the well, and maintaining a constant interval from the base impurity layer. The first conductive layer formed to be parallel with the high-concentration collector impurity layer is connected therewith through a contact hole, and is connected with the collector electrode through another contact hole. Owing to a simple manufacturing process, the processing time and cost can be reduced. Also, parasitic bipolar transistors are not generated nor is increased collector resistance produced, thereby increasing reliability.

Abstract: A method for forming a bipolar transistor comprises the following steps. A collector region of a first conductivity type is formed in a substrate adjacent a surface thereof. A base region of a second conductivity type is then formed in the collector region adjacent the surface of the substrate. A base electrode is formed on a first portion of the substrate adjacent the base region wherein the base electrode comprises a dopant of the second conductivity type. Next, an emitter electrode is formed on a second portion of the substrate adjacent the base region wherein the emitter electrode comprises a dopant of the first conductivity type. The dopant of the second conductivity type from the base electrode is diffused into the first portion of the base region to increase a dopant concentration of the first portion of the base region adjacent the base electrode.
