Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) comprises an emitter, a collector, and a base between the emitter and the collector. The BJT also comprises an emitter contact on a first side of the BJT, a base contact on the first side of the BJT, and a collector contact on a second side of the BJT. The BJT further comprises a Deep Trench Isolation (DTI) region extending from the first side of the BJT to the second side of the BJT.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), comprising: an emitter; a collector; a base between the emitter and the collector; an emitter contact on a first side of the BJT; a base contact on the first side of the BJT; a collector contact on a second side of the BJT, wherein the second side is opposite to the first side; a Deep Trench Isolation (DTI) region extending from the first side of the BJT to the second side of the BJT; a trench interconnect extending through the DTI region from the first side of the BJT to the second side of the BJT; and a trench interconnect contact on the second side of the BJT, wherein the trench interconnect couples at least one of the emitter contact and the base contact to the trench interconnect contact. 2. The BJT of claim 1 , further comprising a drift region between the base and the collector. 3. The BJT of claim 1 , further comprising an emitter contact layer on the first side of the BJT; a base contact layer on the first side of the BJT; and a collector contact layer on the second side of the BJT. 4. The BJT of claim 3 , further comprising an isolation structure separating the emitter contact layer from the base contact layer. 5. The BJT of claim 4 , wherein the isolation structure comprises a Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) region. 6. The BJT of claim 4 , wherein the isolation structure comprises a dummy polysilicon structure. 7. The BJT of claim 3 , wherein the emitter contact layer, the base contact layer, and the collector contact layer comprise silicide. 8. The BJT of claim 1 , wherein the BJT is a Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT). 9. The BJT of claim 1 integrated into a device selected from the group consisting of: a set top box; an entertainment unit; a navigation device; a communication device; a fixed location data unit; a mobile location data unit; a global positioning system (GPS) device; a mobile phone; a cellular phone; a smart phone; a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone; a tablet; a phablet; a server; a computer; a portable computer; a mobile computing device; a wearable computing device; a desktop computer; a personal digital assistant (PDA); a monitor; a computer monitor; a television; a tuner; a radio; a satellite radio; a music player; a digital music player; a portable music player; a digital video player; a video player; a digital video disc (DVD) player; a portable digital video player; an automobile; a vehicle component; avionics systems; and a drone.
