US Patent:

Filed:

Oct 8, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/267342

Inventors:

Hin Fai Chau - Fremont CA
Clarence John Dunnrowicz - Santa Cruz CA
Yan Chen - Fremont CA
Chien Ping Lee - Fremont CA

Assignee:

EIC Corporation - Fremont CA

International Classification:

H01L 29737

US Classification:

257198, 257197

Abstract:

The safe operating area (SOA) in a heterojunction bipolar transistor is improved by inserting a material between the collector and subcollector of the transistor with the insertion layer being a material having a wider energy bandgap than the material of the collector. The insertion layer increases the breakdown field at the collector-subcollector junction and thereby increases the Kirk effect induced breakdown voltage.

International Classification:

H01L 31/0336

US Classification:

257197, 257198

Abstract:

The safe-operating area (SOA) in a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is improved by providing a collector region in the transistor having a graded (uniformly or stepped) doping between the base region and the underlying subcollector region with the collector doping being lower near the base and higher near the subcollector and with the collector doping being less than the doping of the subcollector. The non-uniformly doped collector reduces Kirk effect induced breakdown when collector current increases.

US Classification:

356625, 356446, 356601, 702 57, 702189, 700121, 438 14

Abstract:

To measure a process parameter of a semiconductor fabrication process, the fabrication process is performed on a first area using a first value of the process parameter. The fabrication process is performed on a second area using a second value of the process parameter. A first measurement of the first area is obtained using an optical metrology tool. A second measurement of the second area is obtained using the optical metrology tool. One or more optical properties of the first area are determined based on the first measurement. One or more optical properties of the second area are determined based on the second measurement. The fabrication process is performed on a third area. A third measurement of the third area is obtained using the optical metrology tool. A third value of the process parameter is determined based on the third measurement and a relationship between the determined optical properties of the first and second areas.
