Integrated circuit structure having a bipolar transistor with a thick base oxide and a field effect transistor with a thin gate oxide

摘要

A BiCMOS structure and a method for making the same is disclosed, where the dielectric layer between the emitter electrode and the base region is formed of a deposited dielectric. After definition of the bipolar and MOS moat regions, a layer of polysilicon is deposited thereover, and removed from the bipolar region. The base implant is performed either prior to or after the etch of the polysilicon layer. A layer of TEOS oxide is formed thereover and is etched to remain in portions of the bipolar region, with an emitter contact formed therethrough and a portion of the bipolar region exposed at which the extrinsic base is formed. An alternative embodiment of the invention includes scaling the emitter contact by forming sidewall oxide filaments therewithin. A second layer of polysilicon is disposed thereover to form the emitter electrode, and to merge with the first layer to form the gates of the MOS transistors. Subsequent patterning and etching of the polysilicon, followed by sidewall filament formation and source/drain doping, is performed to complete the structure.
