METHODS OF FORMING A BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR HAVING A COLLECTOR WITH A DOPING SPIKE

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to methods of forming bipolar transistors, such as heterojunction bipolar transistors. The methods may include forming a sub-collector over a substrate, forming a first portion of a collector over the sub-collector and doping a second portion of the collector to form a doping spike. The method may further include forming a third portion of the collector over the doping spike and forming a base of the bipolar transistor over the third portion of the collector.
