ヘテロ接合構造を用いる方法が提案されている。Conventionally, improvements in the performance of bipolar transistors, particularly in current amplification factor and cutoff frequency, have been made primarily through improvements in microfabrication technology, but this is approaching its limits. The cutoff frequency of a biborane transistor depends on the time constant of the emitter-base junction, the transit time of the base layer, the transit time of the collector depletion layer, the time constant of the base-collector junction, etc. In silicon bipolar transistors, the time constant of the junction (especially the emitter-base junction) has a large effect. In order to reduce this time constant, it is effective to make the forbidden band width of the emitter part wider than that of the base part to reduce the current injected into the emitter part. Therefore,
A method using a heterojunction structure has been proposed.

This is an example in which the present invention is applied to a type high-performance bipolar transistor. After providing an N-type buried layer in a p-type silicon layer plate, a P-doped N-type silicon layer, a B-doped P-type Sio, aGeo, and an x layer 5 are formed by molecular beam epitaxial growth.
After forming, the epitaxial growth layer is etched leaving the active region, and a polycrystalline silicon film 7 is buried through the 5i02 film 6. After doping with B at a high concentration, a SiOz film 8 for passivation (7) is formed on the surface. Then, a 5i3Na film 9 was further deposited on the entire surface. Here, a PSG film (phosphorus glass film) is used to flatten the recesses that occur on the surface.
Alternatively, a BPSG film (boron-phosphorous glass film) or non-doped 5iOzlljfilo was deposited and etched. Next, a hole for the emitter is made, and again by molecular beam epitaxial growth, Si-doped N-doped G
The aAs layer 4 was selectively formed. Then, holes for the contacts are formed after forming the emitter electrode 11, the base electrode 2. A collector electrode 3 was formed to complete the transistor. The current amplification factor of the fabricated integrated circuit transistor was about 300, and its cutoff frequency was as high as about 25 GHz. In addition, since the surface level difference caused by the base lead-out electrode is flattened by embedding the multilayer film, the formation of electrodes and wiring becomes easy, and the yield rate of the wiring system is greatly improved.
