High speed, low cost BICMOS process using profile engineering

摘要

A bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor device has a c-well fabricated using profile engineering (a multi-energy implant using accurate dosages and energies determined by advance simulation) to provide a higher c-well implant dose while creating a narrow region with relatively low concentration in the collector depletion range to avoid low base-collector breakdown. This achieves a much lower collector series resistance to pull-up a frequency response, a collector sheet resistance which can be as low as 150 OMEGA/sq., and fT may be increased to 20 GHz or higher.
