ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a bipolar transistor comprising an emitter terminal and a base terminal having substantially equal heights, and a method of fabricating the same. The bipolar transistor comprises a silicon-germanium layer acting as a base and formed on a semiconductor layer acting as a collector. The bipolar transistor further comprises an insulating layer having contact windows for an emitter terminal and a collector terminal. The emitter and collector terminals are formed by forming a polysilicon layer filling the contact windows and performing a planarization process on the polysilicon layer. An ion implantation process is performed to form a polysilicon emitter terminal and a polysilicon base terminal.
