Abstract
A lateral bipolar transistor includes an emitter region doped with a first conductivity type, having a first width and a first average doping concentration; a collector region doped with the first conductivity type, having a second width greater than the first width of the emitter region and a second average doping concentration lower than the first average doping concentration; and a base region positioned between the emitter and collector regions. The emitter, collector and base regions are arranged in a silicon layer on an insulator layer on a substrate. A substrate region that is deprived of the silicon and insulator layers is positioned on a side of the collector region. A bias circuit is coupled, and configured to deliver, to the substrate region a bias voltage. This bias voltage is controlled to modulate an electrostatic doping of the collector region.
