US Patent:
20230125584, Apr 27, 2023
Filed:
Sep 22, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/934220
Inventors:
- Malta NY, US
Alvin J. Joseph - Williston VT, US
Siva P. Adusumilli - South Burlington VT, US
Cameron Luce - Colchester VT, US
International Classification:
H01L 21/02
Abstract:
Disclosed are semiconductor structure embodiments of a semiconductor-on-insulator region on a bulk substrate. The semiconductor-on-insulator region includes an upper semiconductor layer above and physically separated from the substrate by insulator-containing cavities (e.g., by dielectric layer and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas, or under vacuum) and, optionally, by a lower semiconductor layer. Disclosed method embodiments include forming openings that extend vertically through the upper semiconductor layer, through a sacrificial semiconductor layer and, optionally, through a lower semiconductor layer to the substrate. Then, a selective isotropic etch process is performed to form cavities, which extend laterally off the sides of the openings into the sacrificial semiconductor layer. Depending upon the embodiments, different process steps are further performed to form plugs in at least the upper portions of the openings and insulators (including dielectric layers and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas or under vacuum) in the cavities.

US Patent:
20210296122, Sep 23, 2021
Filed:
Mar 17, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/821228
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Cameron Luce - Colchester VT, US
Ramsey Hazbun - Colchester VT, US
Mark Levy - Williston VT, US
Anthony K. Stamper - Williston VT, US
Alvin J. Joseph - Williston VT, US
International Classification:
H01L 21/02
H01L 21/324
H01L 21/762
Abstract:
Methods of forming structures with electrical isolation. A dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate, openings are patterned in the dielectric layer that extend to the semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from portions of the semiconductor substrate that are respectively exposed inside the openings. The semiconductor material, during growth, defines a semiconductor layer that includes first portions respectively coincident with the openings and second portions that laterally grow from the first portions to merge over a top surface of the dielectric layer. A modified layer containing a trap-rich semiconductor material is formed in the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract:
Fabrication methods and device structures for a heterojunction bipolar transistor. A trench isolation region is formed that surrounds an active region of semiconductor material, a collector is formed in the active region, and a base layer is deposited that includes a first section over the trench isolation region, a second section over the active region, and a third section over the active region that connects the first section and the second section. An emitter is arranged over the second section of the base layer, and an extrinsic base layer is arranged over the first section of the base layer and the third section of the base layer. The extrinsic base layer includes a first section containing polycrystalline semiconductor material and a second section containing single-crystal semiconductor material. The first and second sections of the extrinsic base layer intersect along an interface that extends over the trench isolation region.
