ABSTRACT:
One embodiment is a method for fabricating the base of a bipolar transistor where the method comprises placing a first wafer in an undoped epi chamber. Next a first undoped base layer is grown over the first wafer. After growing the first undoped base layer, the first wafer is transferred from the undoped epi chamber into a separate doped epi chamber. A first doped base layer is then grown over the first undoped based layer in the doped epi chamber. While the first wafer is being processed in the doped epi chamber, a second wafer can be processed in the undoped epi chamber. Another embodiment is a structure produced by the disclosed method and yet another embodiment comprises a transfer chamber, a transfer arm, a bake chamber, and a separate undoped epi chamber and a doped epi chamber for practicing the disclosed method.
