Abstract
A method of forming a bipolar transistor is provided, comprising the steps of: providing a semiconductor substrate including a first region of a first conductivity type; forming a layer of insulative material over a surface of the first region; forming a layer of conductive material over the layer of insulative material; patterning the first and second layers to form a generally vertical sidewall bounding an exposed portion of the first region surface; and epitaxially depositing a base region of a second conductivity type over the exposed portion of the first region surface and the sidewall such that the base region is in electrical contact with the second region.
