Abstract :
The effect of RTA time on the emitter profiles and base current of polysilicon emitter bipolar transistors has been studied. Experimental results show increasing base current with anneal time. The contact saturation current density Jos has been extracted for a device with polysilicon doping level of 3Ã1020 cm¿3 and a 45 second 1100°C RTA.
