ABSTRACT:
A method of self aligning an emitter contact includes forming a base layer (18) on a portion of a collector layer (16). An interface layer (22) is formed on the base layer (18) such that a portion of the base layer (18) remains exposed. An emitter layer (24) is formed on the collector layer (16), the interface layer (22), and the exposed portion of the base layer (18). An emitter cap layer (26) is formed on the emitter layer (24) over the previously exposed area of the base layer (18). An insulating layer (28) is formed on the interface layer (22). An emitter contact (36) is formed on the emitter cap layer (26) at the previously exposed area of the base layer (18). The insulating layer (28) isolates the emitter contact (36) from the base layer (18) and a subsequently formed base contact (38). The insulating layer (28) ensures isolation between the emitter contact ( 36) and the base contact (38) despite misalignment of the emitter contact (36) during formation.
