Abstract

A bipolar junction transistor includes an extrinsic collector region buried in a semiconductor substrate under an intrinsic collector region. Carbon-containing passivating regions are provided to delimit the intrinsic collector region. An insulating layer on the intrinsic collector region includes an opening within which an extrinsic base region is provided. A semiconductor layer overlies the insulating layer, is in contact with the extrinsic base region, and includes an opening with insulated sidewalls. The collector region of the transistor is provided between the insulated sidewalls.
