Can realize that then the back side is the discrete device making of collector electrode, its technology is simpler.Its structure is referring to schematic diagram 2.
Generally, the N-Si layer is the method with the normal pressure extension, carries out large-area Si extension and utilize shallow slot and deep trouth that the collector region of each device is kept apart then on whole wafer, has influence on the technology of back for fear of the step of groove, must be with SiO
2Insert in the groove with polysilicon, and return to carve and realize planarization, in the present invention, utilize selective epitaxy only on single crystalline Si, to carry out isoepitaxial growth, and at SiO
2Go up because Si can't nucleation, utilize the SiO that makes local N+ buried regions
2Window, the zone of N-silicon is exposed with needing, and just can obtain selective N-Si epitaxial loayer on exposed silicon.Because selective N-Si epi region is the isolated island shape, and SiO is arranged each other
2Isolate, therefore can save technologies such as carving deep trouth and backfill planarization thereof, simplified processing step.Referring to Fig. 3.
The present invention selects carry out selectivity ion implantation doping this moment on corresponding to the position of emitter window, injects an amount of N type impurity.(at this moment also can in the zone of collector electrode fairlead, inject the N type impurity of high dose according to the thickness of N-layer.When the N-layer was thin, this step can not do yet).This moment, the mode and the condition of annealing were unrestricted, can obtain perfect lattice and desirable Impurity Distribution owing to there is not the existence of SiGe layer.SIC zone among Fig. 4 is collector region 6, because 6 higher of collector regions of concentration concentrate on and SiO
2In the emitter junction The corresponding area that layer 9 limits, and the N-district concentration below the outer base area 11 is still very low, very helps reducing the BC junction capacitance of SiGeHBT, improves its high frequency performance.After SIC finishes, still with selective epitaxial growth SiGe district, to reduce the parasitic capacitance between base stage and the collector electrode as far as possible.
The present invention is after base doping is finished outside, outside on base region surface, the emitter mesa and collector electrode draw the trap inner surface and form Titanium silicide or cobalt silicide, wherein the silicide on outer base area surface and the emitter mesa is the self-aligned manner formation of adopting side wall to isolate.Conventional BJT does not do silicide usually, and minority is with the mode of photoetching, at SiO
2On leave window, shape silicide in window area.Because the present invention is a self-aligned manner, therefore in the maximum magnitude on emitter mesa and outer base area surface, formed silicide, can reduce the ohmic contact resistance of outer base area sheet resistance and base stage and emitter better, improve the high frequency power gain and the noiseproof feature of device.Structure is referring to Fig. 6.In order to guarantee the ohmic contact resistance of base stage and emitter, also can after forming, contact hole in the hole, further replenish silicide in case of necessity.
Between the SIC and emitter window among the present invention, outer base area injects and emitter window between be not self aligned, wherein the former is less demanding for what aim at, the alignment precision of 0.8um mask aligner can satisfy the device performance requirement fully.The same with traditional non-autoregistration SiGeHBT structure, outer base area injects higher slightly for the requirement of aiming at emitter window, otherwise the base series resistance of emitter both sides is with asymmetric.Should reduce series resistance shared proportion in whole Rb in base, emitter both sides during design as far as possible.
