Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a bipolar transistor and an IIL element fabricated on a single wafer. The emitter region of the bipolar transistor is formed by diffusing the impurity of an impurity layer formed in contact with the base region therein. The impurity layer is formed of a polycide layer formed of a polysilicon layer doped with an impurity and a metal silicide layer laminated on the polysilicon layer, a laminated layer of a polysilicon layer and a refractory metal layer, or a metal silicide layer.
Claims18
A semiconductor device having a bipolar transistor formed in a semiconductor layer comprising:
- a base region of a first conductivity type, said base region having a surface area;
- an emitter electrode layer having an impurity of a second conductivity type doped therein, said emitter electrode layer having a plurality of parallel elongated first portions spaced apart from each and at least one second portion formed integral with said first portions;
- a plurality of parallel elongated emitter regions of said second conductivity type formed in said base region, said plurality of parallel elongated emitter regions being formed by diffusion of said impurity of said second conductivity type from said emitter electrode layer into said surface area of said base region;
- said plurality of parallel elongated first portions of said emitter electrode layer having end parts, being in overlaid contact with one of said parallel elongated emitter regions, extending beyond said surface area of said base region, and being connected electrically to each other only at said end parts only by said second portion formed integral with said first portions, to electrically connect said parallel elongated emitter regions to each other;
- a field insulation layer formed in said semiconductor layer and surrounding said base region;
- and
- a base electrode layer insulatively disposed over said emitter electrode layer and in contact with said surface area of said base region;
- said emitter electrode layer extending from said base electrode layer to said field insulation layer.
