<p>A bipolar transistor (100) and a method for forming the same. A base electrode (114) is separated from the collector region (102) by an insulator layer (110). A doped conductive spacer (115) is formed laterally adjacent the base electrode (114). The conductive spacer (115) comprises a conductive material that is capable of serving as a dopant source for n and p-type dopants and is able to be selectively etched with respect to silicon (e.g., silicon-germanium). Base link-up region (112) is diffused from conductive spacer (115) into the collector region (102). Processing then continues to form an intrinsic base region (108), emitter region (126), and emitter electrode (124). <IMAGE></p> |
