Bipolar transistor with isolation and direct contacts

TA bipolar transistor has a collector that is contacted directly beneath a base-collector junction by metallization to reduce collector resistance. A conventional reach-through and buried layer, as well as their associated resistance, are eliminated. The transistor is well isolated, nearly eliminati...

Zusammenfassung:TA bipolar transistor has a collector that is contacted directly beneath a base-collector junction by metallization to reduce collector resistance. A conventional reach-through and buried layer, as well as their associated resistance, are eliminated. The transistor is well isolated, nearly eliminating well-to-substrate capacitance and device-to-device leakage current. The structure provides for improved electrical performance, including improved f, Fmax and drive current.
