DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE EMITTER LAYERS

Abstract:

A semiconductor device include a first semiconductor layer with a first doping concentration. A second semiconductor layer has a second doping concentration and has a first surface and a second opposing surface. The second doping concentration is higher than the first doping concentration. The first surface of the second semiconductor layer is in contact with the first semiconductor layer. A contact is on the second surface of the second semiconductor layer. The contact includes a metal and a semiconductor.
