Ultra-Thin Soi Vertical Bipolar Transistors With An Inversion Collector On Thin-Buried Oxide (Box) For Low Substrate-Bias Operation And Methods Thereof

US Patent:
7375410, May 20, 2008
Filed:
Feb 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/787002
Inventors:
Herbert L. Ho - New Windsor NY, US
Mahender Kumar - Fishkill NY, US
Qiqing Ouyang - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Paul A. Papworth - Wappingers Falls NY, US
Christopher D. Sheraw - Wappingers Falls NY, US
Michael D. Steigerwalt - Newburgh NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01L 27/102
US Classification:
257526, 257587, 257592, 257E29183, 257E2919, 257E29198
Abstract:
The present invention provides a “collector-less” silicon-on-insulator (SOI) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that has no impurity-doped collector. Instead, the inventive vertical SOI BJT uses a back gate-induced, minority carrier inversion layer as the intrinsic collector when it operates. In accordance with the present invention, the SOI substrate is biased such that an inversion layer is formed at the bottom of the base region serving as the collector. The advantage of such a device is its CMOS-like process. Therefore, the integration scheme can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating BJTs on selected areas of a very thin BOX using a conventional SOI starting wafer with a thick BOX. The reduced BOX thickness underneath the bipolar devices allows for a significantly reduced substrate bias compatible with the CMOS to be applied while maintaining the advantages of a thick BOX underneath the CMOS.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a “subcollector-less” silicon-on-insulator (SOI) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that has no impurity-doped subcollector. Instead, the inventive vertical SOI BJT uses a back gate-induced, majority carrier accumulation layer as the subcollector when it operates. The SOI substrate is biased such that the accumulation layer is formed at the bottom of the first semiconductor layer. The advantage of such a device is its CMOS-like process. Therefore, the integration scheme can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating BJTs on selected areas of a very thin BOX using a conventional SOI starting wafer with a thick BOX.
