Abstract
A vertical PNP device in a silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS process is disclosed. The device is formed in a deep N-well and includes a collector region, a base region and an emitter region. The collector region has a two-dimensional L-shaped structure composed of a lightly doped first P-type ion implantation region and a heavily doped second P-type ion implantation region. The collector region is picked up by P-type pseudo buried layers formed at bottom of the shallow trench field oxide regions. A manufacturing method of vertical PNP device in a SiGe BiCMOS process is also disclosed. The method is compatible with the manufacturing processes of a SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor in the SiGe BiCMOS process.
