Two innovative process technologies are introduced to overcome problems related to the downscaling of single-polysilicon self-aligned bipolar transistors. First, the use of a selective silicon deposition step before Ti salicidation of the structure is shown to improve TiSi2 formation on narrow As-doped polysilicon emitters. At the same time, the elevation of the extrinsic base regions around the emitter causes a significant reduction of peripheral electron recombination effects. Second, the implantation of the intrinsic base at a large tilt angle (LATIB) is demonstrated to suppress emitter-to-collector punchthrough along the isolation edges. The first 0.35 µm single-polysilicon self-aligned bipolar transistors fabricated using a 200 mm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) derived bipolar process integrating these novel process technologies are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
