Method for manufacturing self-aligned bipolar transistors using double

Abstract

Manufacturing a double polysilicon layer self-aligned type bipolar transistor. A polysilicon layer for emitter impurity diffusion is formed prior to the formation of a polysilicon layer for leading out a base. A first polysilicon layer containing impurities for base impurity diffusion is deposited over the entire surface of a semiconductor structure. After the first polysilicon layer is patterned into a predetermined shape, an intrinsic base layer is formed by thermally diffusing impurities from a base impurity diffusion source. Subsequently, a second polysilicon layer containing emitter impurities is formed over the base impurity diffusion source, and then patterning is performed such that the first and second polysilicon layers remain in a region narrower than the base impurity diffusion source. Thereafter, an emitter layer is formed by thermal diffusion.
