Abstract
An integrated circuit formed on a silicon substrate includes an NMOS transistor with n-channel raised source and drain (NRSD) layers adjacent to a gate of the NMOS transistor, a PMOS transistor with SiGe stressors in the substrate adjacent to a gate of the PMOS transistor, and an NPN heterojunction bipolar transistor (NHBT) with a p-type SiGe base formed in the substrate and an n-type silicon emitter formed on the SiGe base. The SiGe stressors and the SiGe base are formed by silicon-germanium epitaxy. The NRSD layers and the silicon emitter are formed by silicon epitaxy.
