Abstract
A method of controlling formation of junctions in a lateral bipolar junction transistor comprises: providing a starting substrate comprising a bulk silicon material as a handle substrate, a buried oxide layer on the handle substrate, and an intrinsic base semiconductor layer of germanium on the buried oxide layer; forming an extrinsic base layer on the intrinsic base semiconductor layer; etching at least a portion of the base layer; disposing a sidewall spacer on a side of the base layer; disposing a faceted germanium layer adjacent the sidewall spacer; recessing the faceted germanium layer and the intrinsic base semiconductor layer below the sidewall spacer; using a hot angle ion implantation technique to implant ions into a side of the intrinsic base semiconductor layer to form a junction edge/profile; annealing the implanted ions; and epitaxially growing a Si or SiGe layer on the germanium layer and the junction edge/profile.
