Description

Method for integrating germanium-silicon heterojunction transistor in silicon-based self-aligned bipolar process and semiconductor device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor device processes, and particularly relates to a method for integrating a germanium-silicon heterojunction transistor in a silicon-based self-aligned bipolar process and a semiconductor device.
Background
In the semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process, bipolar transistors (BJTs) generally have two structures, a vertical type (VerticalBipolar Transistor, VBT) and a lateral type (LateralBipolarTransistor, LBT). VBT of vertical structure has significant performance advantages over LBT of lateral structure, such as higher characteristic frequency f T Current gain beta, early voltage V A Lower noise characteristics NF, etc., but the manufacturing process is more complicated. Whereas conventional bipolar processes typically include only vertical NPN transistors (VNPN), their integrated PNP transistors are typically lateral structures (LPNP). The complementary bipolar (ComplementaryBipolar, CB) fabrication process of the NPN and PNP integrated vertical structures is not simple, and adding vertical structure PNP (VPNP) adds significant technical complexity and process manufacturing costs.
To further enhance the rf performance of bipolar transistors, an important technical approach is to replace the Si-based region with germanium-silicon (Si 1-X Ge X ) Material, forming heterojunction bipolar transistors (sige hbts). Because the SiGeHBT process requires additional lithography pattern area definition, siGe heterojunction epitaxy, polysilicon outer base connection and strict control of thermal budget, so the introduction of SiGe process further increases the technical difficulty and complexity of the process. In particular, the technology for integrating the SiGeHBT with the symmetrical and complementary silicon vertical VNPN and VPNP transistors is not reported in the open literature at present.
Vertical bipolar transistor technology is the main technology of high-speed/high-precision analog and radio frequency chips. Among other things, silicon germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (sige hbts) and silicon vertical bipolar transistors (sibbt) have respective advantages and disadvantages: sige hbts have excellent radio frequency performance but higher crystal defects due to lattice matching between silicon and germanium, with higher leakage currents; siVBT can withstand a wider range of operating voltages, higher operating currents, and lower leakage currents, but device cut-off frequencies are typically limited to within 50 GHz.
Thus, there is a need for a SiGe-Si complementary bipolar process that can integrate both germanium-silicon heterojunction transistors (SiGe hbts) and silicon vertical bipolar transistors (sibbt) in a single manufacturing process, and in particular, can integrate vertical VNPN and PNP transistors together, without increasing the complexity of the process.
