Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a bipolar transistor structure having a base with a varying horizontal width and methods to form the same. The bipolar transistor structure includes a first emitter/collector (E/C) layer on an insulator layer. A base layer is over the insulator layer. A spacer between the first E/C layer and the base layer. The base layer includes a lower base region, and the spacer is adjacent to the lower base region and the first E/C layer. An upper base region is on the lower base region and the spacer. A horizontal width of the upper base region is larger than a horizontal width of the lower base region.
