Bipolar transistor

摘要

A bipolar transistor includes a collector including a laterally extending drift region. The bipolar transistor also includes a base located above the collector. The bipolar transistor further includes an emitter located above the base. The bipolar transistor also includes a doped region having a conductivity type that is different to that of the collector. The doped region extends laterally beneath the collector to form a junction at a region of contact between the doped region and the collector. The doped region has a non-uniform lateral doping profile. A doping level of the doped region is highest in a part of the doped region closest to a collector-base junction of the bipolar transistor.
