Certain new phenomena are observed in both the devices below 60 K which are attributed to carrier freezeout and high-level injection. These experimental results also tend to suggest that the useful range of operation of these devices can be extended to below liquid nitrogen temperature.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Bipolar Circuits and Technology Meeting,","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115748403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three transistors were located in the substrate, a single SEG layer, and a double (interrupted growth) SEG layer. The SEG silicon was grown in a reduced pressure, RF-heated, pancake-type epitaxial reactor at 950 degrees C and 150 torr. The transistors were tested for junction ideality factors, junction reverse bias leakage currents, and forward DC current gain. Test results showed average ideality factors, leakage currents, and gains were similar for all device types, indicating the excellent device quality of the SEG material relative to the substrate.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Bipolar Circuits and Technology Meeting,","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124835234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown to be a viable technique for the fabrication of advanced bipolar transistors. The use of amorphous instead of polycrystalline silicon as the emitter contact material results in a shallower emitter-base junction and little effect of the boron diffusion on the obtained arsenic profile. The narrowing of the base yields a higher intrinsic base resistance for the same number of carriers leading to a decrease in current gain for the same intrinsic base resistance. The different processing of double diffusion compared to base implantation may also lead to a loss in emitter efficiency. Nevertheless uniformity of the basewidth seems to be excellent and good high-frequency characteristics (up to f/sub T/=15 GHz) are obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Bipolar Circuits and Technology Meeting,","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114668635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This resistance is found to be current dependent and good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. Results for devices with a discontinuous interfacial layer indicate that low interface resistances (17-33 Omega mu m/sup 2/) suitable for VLSI applications can be obtained by deliberately breaking up the interfacial layer. In this case the metal contact resistance contributes significantly to the total emitter resistance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1988 Bipolar Circuits and Technology Meeting,","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122265990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
