Abstract
A method is provided for forming a transistor for a bipolar, CMOS, or bipolar CMOS integrated circuit. The method is applicable to forming a double polysilicon self-aligned bipolar transistor using a single masking step for defining the emitter structure with a narrow emitter-base contact area and a large emitter contact area. The method comprises selectively providing a tapered body of dielectric to mask a region of the substrate on which an emitter is to be formed. A conductive layer is provided around the tapered body to form base contact electrodes. The tapered body is selectively removed from the substrate without damaging the underlying silicon substrate, to leave a tapered opening; localized dielectric isolation is provided in the form of sidewall spacers on the first conductive layer. The tapered opening is filled with a layer of a second conductive material to form a second electrode i.e. an emitter structure. The resulting structure is fully planarized, preferably by chemical mechanical polishing, to form coplanar contact areas to the base and emitter.
