Low noise vertical bipolar transistor and method of manufacturing it

摘要

A vertical bipolar transistor production process comprises epitaxy of a single crystal silicon emitter region in direct contact with the upper layer of a silicon germanium heterojunction base. Production of a vertical bipolar transistor comprises (a) forming an intrinsic collector (4) on an extrinsic collector layer buried in a semiconductor substrate (1); (b) forming a lateral insulation region (5) around the upper part of the intrinsic collector and an offset extrinsic collector well (60); (c) forming an silicon germanium heterojunction base above the intrinsic collector (4) and the lateral insulation region (5) by non-selective epitaxy of a multilayer (8) including a silicon germanium layer; and (e) forming an in-situ doped emitter by epitaxy on a window of the surface of the multilayer located above the intrinsic collector to obtain, above the window, a single crystal silicon emitter region in direct contact with the upper layer of the multilayer (8). An Independent claim is also included for a vertical bipolar transistor produced by the above process.
