Collector contact of an integrated bipolar transistor

摘要

A collector contact (6) is fabricated which is attached on the side to the collector zone (1), and around which a moat (3) is produced which laterally restricts the collector zone (1). The depth of the moat (3) is so dimensioned to be at least equal to the vertical thickness of the collector zone (1). The collector contact (6) comprises a polycrystalline silicon layer which contains dopants of the same conductivity type as the collector zone (1), and covers a highly doped contacting zone (7') which has been diffused from the adjoining collector contact (6).
