Abstract
One method disclosed herein includes performing at least one common process operation to form a plurality of first gate structures for each of a plurality of field effect transistors and a plurality of second gate structures above a region where a bipolar transistor will be formed and performing an ion implantation process and a heating process to form a continuous doped emitter region that extends under all of the second gate structures. A device disclosed herein includes a first plurality of field effect transistors with first gate structures, a bipolar transistor that has an emitter region and a plurality of second gate structures positioned above the emitter region, wherein the bipolar transistor comprises a continuous doped emitter region that extends laterally under all of the plurality of second gate structures.
