Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to microelectronic devices. It finds a particularly advantageous application in the production of HBT heterojunction bipolar transistors, for radiofrequency (RF) components.
- RF radiofrequency
- HBTs Heterojunction bipolar transistors
- HBT transistors are currently developed on small format substrates, typically less than 100 mm in diameter, and use architectures that are difficult to integrate industrially, based for example on submicron air bridges or materials with limited compatibility.
- Current HBT transistor technologies do not allow for continuous "scaling", i.e. a reduction in dimensions sufficient for the increase in performance targeted by the next generations of RF components.
- BEOL back end of line
- CMOS part and the HBT part must be carried out at the end of the process, after having carried out all the interconnection levels.
- Such an integration architecture limits the application possibilities.
- HBT transistors cannot be integrated within the CMOS part, for example between different levels of CMOS interconnections. Transmission losses between the different electronic functions of the integrated circuit, typically between the power amplification provided by the HBT transistors and the antennas or passive elements of the BEOL metal levels, are not optimized. High-frequency operation therefore remains limited.
- An object of the present invention is to meet this need, in particular by proposing a more versatile and compact HBT transistor architecture and integration system.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a method of producing such an HBT transistor, and an integration method.
- a heterojunction bipolar transistor comprising, stacked in a z direction on a silicon-based substrate:
- collector layer • a so-called collector layer, based on a second III-V material exhibiting the first type of conductivity with a second level of N doping
- the transistor further comprises a collector contact on the first layer, at the edge of the first mesa structure, a base contact on the base layer, at the edge of the second mesa structure, an emitter contact on the emitter layer.
- the collector, base and emitter contacts are based on a conductive material suitable for metallurgy of the metal levels of an integrated circuit based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- the conductive material is taken from W, Ti, TiN, Ni and its alloys NiSi, NiPt, and Cu.
- the transistor further comprises an encapsulation layer based on a dielectric encapsulation material, said encapsulation layer covering the first layer, the first and second mesa structures, and the collector, base and emitter contacts.
- the encapsulation layer is based on a dielectric material suitable for isolation of the metal levels of an integrated circuit based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- the dielectric material is taken from SiO2, SiN x .
- the HBT transistor can be easily and directly integrated into an integrated circuit based on CMOS transistors.
- the choice of materials suitable for BEOL type integration made it possible to achieve a cut-off frequency of the order of THz, which is compatible with the working frequencies targeted in the range 220 GHz to 325 GHz.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a heterojunction bipolar transistor comprising at least the following steps:
- a supply of a stack comprising, in a z direction, a silicon-based substrate, a first layer made of a first III-V material having a first type of conductivity with a first doping level N+, - epitaxial formation on the first layer of a so-called collector layer, based on a second 11 lV material having the first type of conductivity with a second N doping level, and
- a first structuring in the form of a mesa of the collector and base layers configured to form a first mesa structure having a dimension L1 in a direction y perpendicular to the direction z,
- a second mesa-shaped structuring of the emitter layer configured to form a second mesa structure having a dimension L2 less than the dimension L1 in the y direction
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- wafer planarization steps are performed at each building block of the manufacturing process of the HBT transistor based on 11 lV semiconductors. These planarization steps can be included in a damascene-type approach.
- the planarization steps make it possible to adapt the manufacturing process of the HBT transistor to current manufacturing methods of advanced CMOS and BiCMOS silicon integrated circuits. This approach is clearly different from the III-V technologies on native substrate as taught by document US2021391321A1. It makes it possible to obtain the following advantages: compatibility with “Direct Hybrid Bonding” transfer techniques direct) from chip to functional wafer (for example a 55 nm BiCMOS wafer obtained at the BEOL "end of line").
- the resolution for the formation of contacts can be greatly improved (up to approximately 20 nm in 300 mm CMOS technology for example).
- standard III-V technologies using air bridges can only contact the emitter for a WE emitter contact dimension > 200 nm.
- the contact recovery must be carried out via a polymer coating (polyimides, BCB resin, etc.).
- This technique also limits the achievable contact dimension to around 130 nm.
- this technique induces parasites. It also limits manufacturing to substrate formats smaller than 100 mm. compatibility with substrate sizes of 200 mm and 300 mm, instead of the dimensions limited to 100 mm for usual III-V substrates.
- the invention also relates to an integration system and a method of integrating such an HBT transistor.
- the system for integrating at least one heterojunction bipolar transistor according to the invention typically comprises, stacked in a z direction:
- CMOS metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors a layer comprising complementary CMOS metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors and first levels of metal interconnections connected to said CMOS transistors

- CMOS metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors • a layer comprising complementary CMOS metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors and first levels of metal interconnections connected to said CMOS transistors,
- a first part of a bonding layer comprising a hybrid bonding type interface, comprising electrical connections with the first levels of metal interconnections connected to the CMOS transistors,
- the at least one third level of interconnections comprises a so-called thick metal layer having a thickness at least twice as great as the different metal thicknesses of the first and second levels of metal interconnections located under the layer comprising the at least one heterojunction bipolar transistor.
- the thick metal layer typically has a thickness greater than or equal to 1 pm, for example of the order of 3 pm.
- the integration of the HBT transistor(s) is done as close as possible to the BEOL metal levels.
- the amplification circuits based on HBT transistors can thus be interconnected with the components and passive elements of the CMOS circuits with reduced connection distances.
- Such an integration system has improved compactness. This makes it possible to limit transmission losses linked to excessively long HBT/CMOS interconnections.
- An RF system based on such an architecture can advantageously operate at higher frequencies. The energy efficiency, in particular the electrical efficiency of the system, is also improved.
- the HBT transistor and the integration system of this HBT transistor advantageously make it possible to produce compact and optimized RF circuit architectures, presenting improved RF performances.

- the base contact has a central portion and a peripheral portion around the central portion such that the peripheral portion has a thickness less than that of the central portion.

- the method of producing a heterojunction bipolar transistor comprises at least the following steps:
- a first structuring in the form of a mesa of the collector and base layers configured to form a first mesa structure having a dimension L1 in a direction y perpendicular to the direction z,

- the formation of the first and second mesa structures is done respectively by a first etching along z of the collector and base layers, and by a second etching along z of the emitter layer.
- Such a production process is generally called "top-down”. This allows better control of the crystalline quality of the different layers and the dimensions of the different structures.
- the first and second etches each comprise a wet isotropic etching step, such that the first and second mesa structures each have inclined flanks, overhanging respectively the first layer and the base layer. This makes it possible to reduce parasitic capacitances (in particular under the collector). This makes it possible to produce self-aligned contacts.
- the first and second etchings each comprise a mixed dry and wet etching step.
- the following steps are performed in the following chronological order: forming the emitter contact, then forming the second mesa structure, then forming the base contact, then forming the first mesa structure, then forming the collector contact.
- the following steps are performed in the following chronological order: forming the second mesa structure, then forming the base contact, then forming the emitter contact, then forming the first mesa structure, then forming the collector contact.
- Forming the base contact before forming the emitter contact makes it possible to obtain a low base contact thickness in a simpler manner, with a limited number of steps, typically by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) without etching the base contact.
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- the base contact can therefore have an upper face substantially in the same plane as a lower face of the emitter contact. This also makes it possible to limit the presence of metal during the etching of the semiconductor layers that constitute the emitter. This avoids metal contamination of the substrate or wafer.
- forming the collector contact includes a first tungsten nitrogen plasma-assisted deposition to form a peripheral portion of the collector contact.
- Forming the collector contact further includes thinning the peripheral portion of the collector contact by preferentially etching the peripheral portion of the collector contact relative to a central portion of the collector contact. This allows the peripheral portion of the collector contact to be moved away from the base contact. Stray capacitance between the collector contact and the base contact is reduced. This also allows the peripheral portion of the collector contact to be moved away from the emitter contact. Stray capacitance between the collector contact and the emitter contact is reduced.

- the first layer made of a first III-V material and the first silicon-based substrate are typically of the same dimensions in the plane normal to the z direction. This typically corresponds to the use of InPoSi substrates (acronym for “InP on Silicon”) which can advantageously reach large dimensions, for example a diameter of 200 mm or even 300 mm.

- a stack of layers 3, 4, 5, 6 based on III-V materials, formed separately, can be transferred onto the silicon-based substrate 1, by SiO2-SiO2 bonding for example.

- a layer 32 based on InGaAs which serves as a stop layer for etching.
- an etching stop can be carried out by detection of the end of the attack, by detecting the change in the nature of the etched materials during etching and/or by taking advantage of the etching selectivity of the materials of the layer to be etched and of the stop layer.

These different layers 41, 42, 43, 44 are preferably configured so that the N-type doping gradually decreases between the layer 41 and the layer 44. This makes it possible to better accommodate the variations in conductivity and the mechanical constraints within the stack.
- These layers 41, 42, 43, 44 are typically sized in thickness and doping so as to manage the electric field and the flow of charges in the collector.
- This layer 5 typically forms the base of the HBT transistor. It is typically directly connected to the base contact of the HBT transistor. This layer 5 typically has a thickness of the order of 28 nm. Other materials are also conceivable for this base layer 5, for example GaAsSb.
- This layer 61 typically forms part of the emitter.
- This layer 61 typically has a thickness of the order of 20 nm.
- This layer 62 typically has a thickness of the order of 30 nm.
- This layer 63 typically acts as an interface with the emitter contact of the HBT transistor.
- This layer 63 typically has a thickness of the order of 20 nm.
- the layers 61, 62, 63 typically form the emitter layer 6.
- This 64 layer typically has a thickness of the order of 20 nm.
- this stack is structured by different lithography and etching steps, and contacts are formed to produce the HBT transistor.
- a planarization step can first be performed.
- This step typically comprises a deposition of a SiN-based layer 71, intended on the one hand to fill the spaces bordering the stack of layers based on 11 l-V materials, and intended on the other hand to form a mask on the stack of layers based on 11 l-V materials.
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- the layer 71 surmounting the stack typically has a thickness of the order of 150 nm after planarization.
- a resin-based masking layer 81 is then formed on the layer 71, then structured by lithography to form one or more openings 101 having a dimension L2 along x.
- the layer 71 is then etched through the opening 101, typically by plasma-based dry etching or by reactive ion etching (RIE).
- RIE reactive ion etching
- the layer 64 of the stack is then etched through the opening 101, typically by selective wet etching with respect to the underlying layer 63. An upper face 630 of the layer 63 is thus exposed after the successive etchings through the opening 101.
- the masking layer 81 is then removed in a known manner by a so-called “stripping” step, typically by O2-based plasma.
- a deposition of a metal layer 11 is then carried out, so as to fill the opening 101 of the layer 71.
- This metal layer 11 may comprise several sub-layers, for example bonding layers based on Ti and TiN, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively, and a main layer based on tungsten W, of sufficient thickness to fill the opening of the layer 71.
- This main layer based on tungsten W has for example a thickness of the order of 225 nm.
- a chemical-mechanical polishing is carried out so as to remove the excess metal deposited on the layer 71.
- the CMP polishing is stopped on the layer 71, in order to keep the portion of metal layer in the opening of the layer 71.
- the emitter contact 60 is thus formed. Here, it is in contact with the layer 63 based on N+ doped InGaAs.
- a portion of layer 71 is then etched away, so as to expose an upper face 640 of layer 64.
- the layers 64, 63, 62, 61 of the stack are then etched around the emitter contact 60, so as to expose an upper face 500 of the layer 5.
- the layers 64, 63, 62 and partly the InP-based layer 61 are typically etched by dry etching, with a stop in the layer 61.
- a finishing etching by wet etching then makes it possible to remove the remaining part of the InP-based layer 61, selectively to the InGaAs P++-based layer 5.
- a 6M mesa structure of dimension L2 along x is thus obtained under the emitter contact 60.
- This 6M mesa structure has sides 601 which can be slightly inclined with respect to the vertical. This is typically due to the isotropic nature of the etchings, in particular wet etching. This also comes from the crystallography of InP and InGaAs insofar as certain crystal planes are etched faster than others.
- a SiN-based layer 72 is then formed by conformal deposition at 300°C on the exposed face 500, and on the flanks 601 and the emitter contact 60.
- This layer 72 typically has a thickness of the order of 30 nm.
- a SiO2-based layer 73 is then formed on the layer 72, for example by deposition at 400°C.
- This layer 73 typically has a thickness of the order of 400 nm.
- a planarization step by CMP polishing is then carried out on the layer 73.
- CMP polishing of layer 73 is typically stopped on SiN-based layer 72 atop emitter contact 60.
- a resin-based masking layer 82 is then formed on layer 73 and on the portion of layer 72 atop emitter contact 60, then lithographically structured to form apertures 102, for example by e-beam electron lithography. Apertures 102 are formed on either side of emitter contact 60. An upper face 730 of layer 73 is thus exposed through apertures 102.
- layers 73 and 72 are then etched through openings 102, typically by dry etching.
- An upper face 500 of layer 5 is thus exposed after etching through openings 102.
- the masking layer 82 is removed by “stripping”.
- a deposit of a metal layer 12 is then carried out, so as to fill the openings 102 of the layer 73.
- This metal layer 12 can comprise several sub-layers, for example bonding layers based on Ti and TiN, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively, and a main layer based on tungsten W, with a thickness sufficient to fill the openings of the layer 73.
- This main layer based on tungsten W has for example a thickness of the order of 375 nm.
- a chemical mechanical polishing is first performed so as to remove the excess metal deposited on the layer 73.
- the CMP polishing is stopped on the layer 73, in order to keep the portions 50' of the metal layer 12 in the openings of the layer 73.
- these metal layer portions are then thinned to form the base contacts 50, typically so that the upper faces of the base contacts 50 are located under a plane passing through the lower face of the emitter contact 60.
- Such thinning typically makes it possible to reduce these parasitic capacitances by 55%, in comparison of unthinned 50' base contacts having a height substantially equal to the thickness of the layer 73, as illustrated in FIG. 11.
- the W metal layer portions can be thinned by wet etching based on Potassium Triiodide KII2.
- the Ti/TiN metal layer portions, at the flanks of the base contacts 50, can be removed by dry etching.
- Base contacts 50 directly in contact with the layer 5 based on P++ doped InGaAs are thus formed.
- the thinning is carried out differentially, in order to obtain peripheral portions 50p of the contact 50 thinner than the central portion 50c of the contact 50.
- Such differential thinning can occur when the deposition of the main layer based on tungsten W is carried out by plasma-assisted CVD of nitrogen species N+.
- the peripheral portions 50p of the contact 50 are then etched preferentially at the central portion 50c of the contact 50.
- the peripheral portions 50p typically have a decreasing thickness profile from the central portion 50c. In this case, the parasitic capacitances between the emitter contact 60 and the base contacts 50 are further reduced.
- Such differential thinning typically makes it possible to reduce these parasitic capacitances by 70%, in comparison with non-thinned 50' base contacts having a height substantially equal to the thickness of the layer 73, as illustrated in FIG. 11.
- a SiN-based layer 74 is then formed by conformal deposition at 400°C on the layer 73, and on the base contacts 50 and the emitter contact 60.
- This layer 74 typically has a thickness of the order of 60 nm.
- a masking layer 83 based on resin is then formed and structured, for example by e-beam electron lithography, above the base contacts 50 and the emitter contact 60, while retaining portions of layer 74 exposed around the base contacts 50.
- layers 74, 73 and 72 are then etched around masking layer 83, typically by dry etching.
- the etching stop is made on layer 5 based on InGaAs P++.
- An upper face 500 of layer 5 is thus exposed after etching.
- Masking layer 83 is then removed by “stripping” ( Figure 16).
- layers 5, 44, 43, 42 and 41 of the stack are then etched around the base contacts 50.
- Layers 5, 44, 43, 42 and partly the InP-based layer 41 are typically etched by dry etching, with a stop in layer 41.
- the partial dry etching of the InP-based layers 43, 42 and 41 can be configured to stop at an etching depth of the order of 140 nm from the interface between layer 43 and layer 44, so as to maintain a residual thickness of layer 41 at the end of dry etching.
- a wet etching finish etch then removes the remaining portion of the InP-based layer 41, preferably selectively to the InGaAs N+-based layer 34, so as to expose an upper face 300 of the layer 34.
- a mesa structure 45M is thus obtained under the base contacts 50.
- This 45M mesa structure of dimension L1 along x typically has 451 sides which can be slightly inclined with respect to the vertical. This is typically due to the isotropic nature of the etchings, in particular wet etching.
- a SiN-based layer 74 is then formed by conformal deposition at 300°C on the exposed face 300, and on the flanks 451, the base contacts 50 and the emitter contact 60.
- This layer 74 typically has a thickness of the order of 60 nm.
- a SiO2-based layer 75 is then formed on the layer 74, for example by deposition at 400°C. This layer 75 typically has a thickness of the order of 750 nm.
- a planarization step by CMP polishing is then carried out on the layer 75, stopping on the protruding parts of the SiN-based layer 74.
- a resin-based masking layer 84 is then formed on layer 75 and on the protruding portions of layer 74, then structured by lithography to form openings 103. Openings 103 are formed on either side of base contacts 50. As illustrated in FIG. 21, layers 75 and 74 are then etched through openings 103, typically by dry etching. The etching stops on layer 34 based on InGaAs N+. An upper face 300 of layer 34 is thus exposed after etching through openings 103.
- the masking layer 84 is removed by “stripping”.
- a deposit of a metal layer 13 is then carried out, so as to fill the openings 103 of the layer 75.
- This metal layer 13 can comprise several sub-layers, for example bonding layers based on Ti and TiN, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively, and a main layer based on tungsten W, with a thickness sufficient to fill the openings of the layer 75.
- This main layer based on tungsten W has for example a thickness of the order of 750 nm.
- the W-based metal layer portions 13 can be thinned by wet etching based on Potassium Triiodide KII2, for example to an etching depth of approximately 270 nm.
- the Ti/TiN metal layer portions, at the flanks of the collector contacts 30, can be removed by dry etching.
- Collector contacts 30 directly in contact with the N+-doped InGaAs-based layer 34 are thus formed.
- the collector contacts 30 can be thinned by differential thinning as before.
- the collector contacts 30 therefore have a peripheral portion relatively thinner than their central portion.
- a SiN-based layer 76 is then formed by conformal deposition at 400°C on the layer 75, and on the collector contacts 30.
- This layer 76 typically has a thickness of the order of 30 nm.
- a SiO2-based layer 77 is then formed on the layer 76, for example by deposition at 400°C.
- This layer 77 typically has a thickness of the order of 400 nm.
- a planarization step by CMP polishing is then carried out on the layer 77.
- An HBT transistor based on 11 l-V materials, on a Si substrate, and encapsulated by SiO2/SiN dielectric materials, is thus obtained. The following steps aim to form the contact vias on the various emitter, base and collector contacts of the HBT transistor.
- a resin-based masking layer 85 is formed over layer 77 and patterned, typically by e-beam electron beam lithography.
- An opening 104 is formed above emitter contact 60, first in layer 85, then in the dielectric layer stack up to emitter contact 60.
- a new resin-based masking layer 86 is formed over layer 77 and patterned, typically by e-beam electron beam lithography.
- An opening 105 is made above base contact 50, first in layer 86, then in the dielectric layer stack up to base contact 50. Opening 104 above emitter contact 60 is typically filled by layer 86 at this point.
- a new resin-based masking layer 87 is formed on the layer 77 and patterned, typically by e-beam electron lithography.
- An opening 106 is made above the collector contact 30, first in the layer 87, then in the dielectric layer stack up to the collector contact 30.
- the openings 104, 105 respectively above the emitter contact 60 and the base contact 50 are typically filled by the layer 87 at this stage.
- interconnections 55, 65, 35 are formed in the openings 105, 104, 106, so as to connect the base, emitter, and collector contacts respectively.
- a metal layer is first deposited, so as to fill the openings 105, 104, 106.
- This metal layer may comprise, as previously, several sub-layers, for example Ti and TiN-based bonding layers, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively, and a main layer based on tungsten W, with a thickness sufficient to fill the openings 105, 104, 106.
- This main layer based on tungsten W has, for example, a thickness of the order of 700 nm.
- a mechanical-chemical polishing is then carried out so as to remove the excess metal deposited on the layer 77.
- the interconnections 55, 65, 35 are thus individualized.
- a SiN-based layer 78 may be formed by deposition at 400°C on layer 77, and on interconnections 55, 65, 35. This layer 78 typically has a thickness of the order of 150 nm.
- a masking layer 88 based on resin is formed on layer 78 and then structured by lithography. Openings in the form of trenches 107 are made around the HBT transistor, typically around collector contacts 30, first in layer 88, then in the stack of dielectric layers up to layer 34 based on InGaAs N+.
- the etching of the trenches 107 is extended in the stack of layers based on III-V materials, up to layer 2 based on SiO2.
- these trenches 107 are then filled with a dielectric material 79, typically by deposition of SiO2 TEOS at 300°C over a thickness of 2 ⁇ m.
- a mechanical-chemical polishing of the SiO2 is then carried out with a stop on the SiN-based layer 78.
- the following steps aim to form the first metal level M1 comprising the metal tracks connecting the different interconnections 55, 65, 35.
- the interconnections 55, 65, 35 form an interconnection level 11.
- a resin-based masking layer 89 is formed over layer 78 and patterned, typically by e-beam electron lithography. Openings 108 are formed over interconnects 55, 65, 35, first in layer 89, then in layer 78 up to interconnects 55, 65, 35.
- a deposit of a metal layer 14 is carried out, so as to connect the interconnections 55, 65, 35.
- This metal layer 14 can comprise several sub-layers, for example bonding layers based on Ti and TiN, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively, a main layer based on AlCu alloy, with a thickness of 440 nm for example, and surface layers based on Ti and TiN, with thicknesses of 10 nm respectively.
- this metal layer 14 is then structured by lithography and etching so as to form a track 56 connected to via 55, a track 66 connected to via 65, and a track 36 connected to via 35.
- An HBT transistor comprising 6M, 45M mesa structures formed in a stack of III-V materials on a Si substrate, integrated in SiO2, SiN dielectric materials and connected by W-based interconnections 55, 65, 35 is thus obtained.
- Such an HBT transistor and its first level of interconnections 11, M1 is advantageously integrable in a system comprising CMOS transistors and CMOS interconnections.
- Figures 35, 36 illustrate a variation of the HBT transistor manufacturing process, in which the base contacts are formed before the emitter contact.
- the 6M mesa structure is formed by lithography and etching from the stack of III-V material-based layers. Dielectric layers 72, 73 are then formed on this 6M mesa structure, then planarized. The dielectric layers 72, 73 are then opened at the edge of the 6M mesa structure, so as to expose the upper face 500 of the layer 5.
- the openings are then filled with a metal layer.
- CMP polishing then removes excess metal layer portions to form the base contacts 50.
- the emitter contact and collector contacts can then be formed as before.
- the upper face of the base contacts 50 lies in a plane substantially corresponding to the top of the 6M mesa structure. It is therefore not necessary to thin the base contacts 50 when they are formed before the emitter contact. This saves a process step.
- an integrated circuit comprising transistors HBT1, HBT2, HBT3 based on III-V materials on a silicon-based substrate 1b, and integrated via interconnection levels 11, I2 and metal levels M1, M2 in a dielectric matrix D1 based on SiO2 and/or SiN, can advantageously be obtained.
- the last metal level M2 of this “HBT” integrated circuit can typically form a first hybrid bonding interface.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- CMOS1, CMOS2, etc. on a silicon-based substrate 1b and integrated via interconnection levels 11’, I2’ and metal levels M1’, M2’ in a dielectric matrix D2 based on SiO2 and/or SiN, can be advantageously assembled to the “HBT” integrated circuit.
- the last metal level M2’ of the “CMOS” integrated circuit can typically form a second hybrid bonding interface.
- the “HBT” and “CMOS” integrated circuits can be aligned and assembled by hybrid bonding by facing the first and second hybrid bonding interfaces.
- multiple “HBT” integrated circuits can be co-assembled side-by-side on the “CMOS” integrated circuit.
- the substrate 1b can typically be removed by mechanical trimming and wet etching.
- 11” interconnect levels, I2” and 1” metal levels, M2” in a SiO2 and/or SiN-based dielectric matrix D3 can be advantageously formed above the HBT1, HBT2, HBT3 transistors based on III-V materials.
- the 11” interconnect level advantageously connects the HBT1, HBT2, HBT3 transistors, typically at the collector or sub-collector portion of the HBT1, HBT2, HBT3 transistors.
- Some of the 11” interconnect levels can be relatively wider and more massive to form a heat sink for the corresponding HBT3 transistor. This improves the heat dissipation and heating management of such an HBT3 transistor.
- the M1”, M2” metal levels can typically comprise thick metal tracks, forming passive RF components such as antennas or transmission lines.
- the HBT level may be integrated between different interconnection levels, for example between interconnection levels 11, 11” as illustrated, or between interconnection levels 11”, I2” etc.
- This allows for greater versatility in integrating the HBT transistors within the CMOS stack.
- CMOS metal levels M1’, M2’ for example up to five levels, may be provided below the HBT level.
- Several post-processing metal levels M1”, M2”, for example up to five additional levels, may be provided above the HBT level.
- the collector contact 30 can be formed on the “rear face” of the HBT transistor during subsequent integration steps, after removal of the silicon-based substrate 1.
- the layer 32 is typically based on doped InGaAs here.
- the emitter contacts 60 and base 50, as well as the contact resumptions 55 and 65 are previously formed for example, up to the metal level M2 and allow the transfer by “Direct Hybrid Bonding” of a plate comprising different metal levels M2’ or higher,’.
- the metal levels M1”, M2” correspond here for example to thick metal levels implemented in CMOS or BiCMOS technologies.
- the formation of the collector contact 30 on the “rear face” allows better heat dissipation for the HBT transistor, and less thermal resistance between the bases 50 and the collector 30.
- the overall resistance of the collector 30 is reduced.
- the formation of the collector contact 30 on the “rear face” also offers more possibilities in terms of design of the collector contact 30.
- the collector contact 30 has a dimension L3 substantially equal to the dimension L2 of the emitter contact.
- the facing metal surfaces between the collector 30 and the bases 50 are reduced. This reduces the parasitic capacitances between the base 50 contacts and the collector contact 30. Thermal management and the management of parasitic capacitances are improved.
- the InP-based layer 33 typically has a dielectric constant of the order of 13. It is surrounded by layers 71, 72 based on a dielectric material having a dielectric constant lower than that of InP and InGaAs. For example, this material may be silicon nitride having a dielectric constant of the order of 7.
- the surrounding matrix, comprising the layers 75, 77 based on silicon oxide typically has a dielectric constant of the order of 4.
- the HBT transistor and its integration system can be integrated compactly and versatile within a CMOS or BiCMOS integrated circuit.
