Abstract

The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with a buried trap rich isolation region and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a first heterojunction bipolar transistor; a second heterojunction bipolar transistor; and a trap rich isolation region embedded within a substrate underneath both the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor.

Claims (18)

1. A structure comprising:

a first heterojunction bipolar transistor;

a second heterojunction bipolar transistor; and

a trap rich isolation region embedded within a substrate underneath both the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor,

wherein the substrate comprises single crystalline semiconductor material and the trap rich isolation region comprises polysilicon crystalline semiconductor material embedded within the single crystalline semiconductor material and further comprising:

a first sub-collector region under a collector region of the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and a second sub-collector region under a collector region of the second heterojunction bipolar transistor, wherein the first sub-collector region and the second sub-collector region are separated from the polysilicon crystalline semiconductor material by an upper portion of the single crystalline semiconductor material and separated from one another by a shallow trench isolation structure; and

a doped isolation region under and separated from the second heterojunction bipolar transistor by a lower portion of the single crystalline semiconductor material ..

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor are complementary heterojunction bipolar transistors.

3. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the polysilicon crystalline semiconductor material is below shallow trench isolation structures for both the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor, and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a n-type isolation region under and separated from the poly-crystalline semiconductor material.

4. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-collector region and the second sub-collector region have different dopant types.

5. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising an emitter region of the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and a base region of the second heterojunction bipolar transistor comprise same material.

6. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the trap rich isolation region comprises a single trap rich isolation region for both the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor.

7. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the trap rich isolation region comprises separate isolation regions for the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor.

8. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a field effect transistor adjacent to the second heterojunction bipolar transistor, the field effect transistor, the first heterojunction bipolar transistor and the second heterojunction bipolar transistor sharing the trap rich isolation region.

9. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising an isolation region under the shallow trench isolation structures and under the second heterojunction bipolar transistor.

10. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the isolation region is under the polysilicon crystalline semiconductor material.

11. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the isolation region comprises an n-type implant region and second bipolar heterojunction is a PNP device.

12. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the isolation region is separated from the polysilicon crystalline semiconductor material by the single crystalline semiconductor material.
