Abstract
A bipolar transistor includes a common collector region comprising a buried semiconductor layer and an annular well. A well region is surrounded by the annular well and delimited by the buried semiconductor layer. A first base region and a second base region are formed by the well region and separated from each other by a vertical gate structure. A first emitter region is implanted in the first base region, and a second emitter region is implanted in the second base region. A conductor track electrically couples the first emitter region and the second base region to configure the bipolar transistor as a Darlington-type device. Structures of the bipolar transistor may be fabricated in a co-integration with a non-volatile memory cell.
