Abstract
A semiconductor structure having a self-aligned base contact and an emitter, where the base contact is electrically isolated from the emitter by a dielectric layer. The separation between the base contact and the emitter is determined by the thickness of the dielectric layer and the width of the emitter is determined by the minimum resolution provided by the fabrication techniques and tools used to define features within the dielectric layer.
