Method for fabricating hetero-junction bipolar transistor having reduced

Abstract

Disclosed is a fabrication of a hetero-junction bipolar transistor in which a base parasitic capacitance is fully reduced by using a metallic silicide as a base, comprising the steps of injecting an impurity in a silicon substrate to form a conductive buried collector region; growing a collector epitaxial layer on the buried collector region and forming a field oxide layer; selectively injecting an impurity into the collector epitaxial layer to form a collector sinker; sequentially forming a base layer and an first oxide layer thereon; patterning the first oxide layer to define an extrinsic base region; ion-implanting an impurity in the extrinsic base region using a patterned oxide layer as a mask and removing the patterned oxide layer; depositing a metallic silicide film thereon to form a base electrode thin film; forming a capping oxide layer of about 500 .ANG. thickness only on the base electrode thin film; forming an isolating oxide layer thereon and sequentially and selectively removing the isolating oxide layer, the capping oxide layer, the base electrode thin film and the base layer using a patterned photomask to form a pattern, the isolating oxide layer being provided to electrically isolate base and emitter; forming a side wall oxide layer at both side edges of the pattern; removing a portion of the isolating oxide layer to define an emitter region; forming a passivation layer thereon and selectively removing the passivation layer to form contact holes; and depositing a polysilicon layer doped with impurity ions in the contact holes to form electrodes.
