Abstract
A direct-write sub-100-nm electron beam lithography has been used for scaling of a novel lateral bipolar structure. The keyprocess is a lith ographic base definition by using small PMMA structures as implantatio n masks. Downscaling of base widths into the sub-100-nm-regime could b e successfully demonstrated. Process simulation is used to estimate th e effects of process parameters on device scaling. The physical and te chnological effects which are responsible for base formation are inten sively discussed. A relation for base formation is derived and confirm ed by electrical measurements.
