Abstract
A bipolar transistor and a method for fabricating a bipolar transistor are disclosed. In one embodiment the bipolar transistor includes a semiconductor body including a collector region and a base region arranged on top of the collector region, the collector region being doped with dopants of a second doping type and the base region being at least partly doped with dopants of a first doping type and an insulating spacers arranged on top of the base region. The semiconductor body further includes a semiconductor layer including an emitter region arranged on the base region and laterally enclosed by the spacers, the emitter region being doped with dopants of the second doping type forming a pn-junction with the base region, wherein the emitter region is fully located above a horizontal plane through a bottom side of the spacers.
