Abstract
A new technique is presented for forming a shallow link base in a doub le polysilicon bipolar transistor. This method is easily integrated in to an advanced BICMOS process, making use of a disposable polysilicon spacer technology for MOSFET LDD formation. This new scheme allows ind ependent optimization of active and link base regions while providing improvements in base-emitter breakdown and resistance to bipolar hot c arrier degradation.
