Method for formation of a buried layer for a semiconductor device

摘要

The present invention provides a buried layer fabrication sequence suitable for bipolar and BiCMOS applications. The buried layer fabrication sequence for forming a buried layer having a first conductivity type includes the steps of: forming a first dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate having a second conductivity type; forming a first mask layer having openings on top of the first dielectric layer, wherein the openings in the first mask layer are positioned over the regions where the first buried layer is formed; exposing the semiconductor substrate in the regions where openings in the first mask layer are formed; forming a second dielectric layer; removing the second dielectric layer; and forming a semiconductor layer.
