Bipolar integrated circuit having an improved isolation and substrate connection, and method of preparing the same.

摘要

A structure for isolating a bipolar transistor (100) from an adjacent transistor includes a first silicon dioxide isolation region (110) laterally surrounding the transistor and a conductive channel stop region (112) laterally surrounding the silicon dioxide isolation region. The channel stop region allows electrical potential of the substrate (102) to be controlled and the silicon dioxide isolation region prevents the channel stop from contacting the transistor.
