Abstract
A semiconductor component includes: a semiconductor substrate (); an epitaxial semiconductor layer () above the semiconductor substrate; a bipolar transistor () in the epitaxial semiconductor layer; and a field effect transistor () in the epitaxial semiconductor layer. A portion of the epitaxial semiconductor layer forms a base of the bipolar transistor and a gate of the field effect transistor, and the portion of the epitaxial semiconductor layer has a substantially uniform doping concentration. In the same or another embodiment, a different portion of the epitaxial semiconductor layer forms an emitter of the bipolar transistor and a channel of the field effect transistor, and the different portion of the epitaxial semiconductor layer has a substantially uniform doping concentration that can be the same as or different from the substantially uniform doping concentration of the portion of the epitaxial semiconductor layer.
