Abstract:
A transistor and method of forming the same are disclosed. A thick mesa of dielectric material is grown on a semiconductor substrate and two or more layers of polycrystalline silicon grown on the vertical sides of the mesa serve a masking function to define the gate region of the transistor with high accuracy. The mesa and the two or more polycrystalline layers remain in the final device.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a self-aligned process for providing an improved bipolar transistor structure. The process includes the chemically etching of an intermediate insulating layer to undercut another top layer of a different insulating material in a self-aligned emitter process wherein the spacing of the emitter contact to the polysilicon base contact is reduced to a magnitude of approximately 0. 2 to 0. 3 micrometers. In addition, in the process an emitter plug is formed to block the emitter region from the heavy P+ ion dose implant of the extrinsic base.
