Specifically, the forming step of the base region 3 specifically includes: forming a base groove (not shown) in the epitaxial layer 1, wherein the base groove penetrates through the epitaxial layer and has one end extending to be connected with the substrate 1, and forming a base region 3 of a first conductivity type in the base groove by an epitaxial growth method, specifically, the connection mode between one end of the base groove and the substrate 1 may be that one end of the base groove extends into the substrate 1, or may only contact with the first surface of the substrate 1. Specifically, the process of forming the base region trench may be: forming an etching barrier layer (not shown) on the epitaxial layer 1, then forming a photoresist layer (not shown) on the etching barrier layer, then exposing the photoresist layer by using a mask with the base region groove pattern, and then developing to obtain the photoresist layer with the base region groove pattern.

Specifically, the epitaxial growth method is preferably a chemical vapor deposition method (or referred to as a vapor phase epitaxial growth method), and is consistent with the formation method of the epitaxial layer 2, and the specific method and the beneficial effects thereof are not described in detail. More specifically, the shape of the base region trench is a strip structure, and more specifically, the width of the base region trench is determined according to the width of the subsequent base region 3, and is generally between 0.3 um and 0.8 um. More specifically, the doping concentration of the base region is 2E13-5E13/cm3In the meantime. It can be understood that the width of the base region 3 can be defined by the photolithography process to accurately control the width of the base region 3, and thus, the amplification factor of the transistor can be accurately controlled.

And etching the etching barrier layer by using the photoresist layer with the base region groove pattern as a mask and adopting an etching method such as a reactive ion etching method and the like to form a pattern opening (not shown) of the base region groove. And then removing the epitaxial layer 2 which is not covered by the etching barrier layer by using the etching barrier layer with the base region groove pattern opening as a mask and adopting methods such as wet etching or dry etching and the like, and forming the base region groove in the epitaxial layer 2. The photoresist layer and the etch stop layer may be removed thereafter by chemical cleaning or the like. In the above process, an anti-reflection layer (not shown) may be further formed between the photoresist layer and the etch stopper layer in order to ensure the exposure accuracy. Specifically, the epitaxial growth method is preferably a chemical vapor deposition method (or vapor phase deposition method)Epitaxial growth method), which is consistent with the formation method of the epitaxial layer 2, and the specific method and beneficial effects thereof are not described in detail. More specifically, the shape of the base region trench is a bar-shaped structure, and more specifically, the width of the base region trench is determined according to the width of the subsequent base region 3, which is generally between 0.3 um and 0.8 um. More specifically, the doping concentration of the base region is 2E13-5E13/cm3In the meantime. It can be understood that the width of the base region 3 can be defined by the photolithography process to accurately control the width of the base region 3, and thus, the amplification factor of the transistor can be accurately controlled.
It should be noted that, in the manufacturing process, in order to completely fill the base trench and obtain a flat surface, a planarization operation is usually performed on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 2, specifically, a chemical mechanical polishing manner is adopted.

More specifically, the first isolation layer 41 and the second isolation layer 43 may serve to isolate and protect the emitter layer 42, since the first isolation layer 41 and the second isolation layer 43 pull up the emitter layer 42The resistance of region 4, and thus the first isolation layer 41 and the second isolation layer 43, may also provide the transistor with a higher breakdown voltage.
Further, specifically, the transistor further includes a second conductivity type collector contact region 51 formed by first implantation in a region of the epitaxial layer 2 on the side away from the base region 3, where a doping concentration of the collector contact region 51 is higher than that of the collector region 5; the collector region is lightly doped, and since the contact between the subsequent electrode and the lightly doped collector region 5 is not good enough, the heavily doped collector contact region 51 is used here instead to improve the contact performance; forming the collector region 5 by performing second implantation in the region of the epitaxial layer 2 between the collector contact region 51 and the base region 3 to form the collector region 5; specifically, the collector region 5 and the collector contact region 51 both penetrate through the epitaxial layer 2 and have one end in contact with the first surface of the substrate 1. More specifically, the first implantation and the second implantation have the same ion conductivity type, the first implantation is phosphorus ion, and the implantation concentration is in
8E15-1E16, the second implanted ions are phosphorus ions, and the implantation concentration is determined according to the requirement of the Breakdown Voltage (BVCBO) of the device. The second implantation is used for reducing the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 2 between the base region 3 and the collector contact region 51, and the collector region 5 electrically connected with the base region 3 and the collector contact region 51 is formed, so that the transistor can reach the required breakdown voltage, and the collector junction capacitance of the base region-collector region is effectively reduced.
