Semiconductor device including bipolar junction transistor with protected emitter-base junction

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a CMOS-BJT semiconductor device comprises the steps of: forming a collector region of a first conductivity type and a first well of the first conductivity type, simultaneously in a semiconductor substrate; forming a second well of a second conductivity type opposite to said first conductivity type, in the semiconductor substrate; forming a base region of the second conductivity type in the collector region; forming first and second insulated gate structure on said first and second wells, and a junction protection structure having same constituent elements as said insulated gate structures on said base region; and forming second source/drain regions of the first conductivity type in said second well, and an emitter region of the first conductivity type in the base region, simultaneously, with an emitter-base junction reaching the principal surface below said junction protection structure.
