Abstract

Structures for a bipolar junction transistor and methods of forming a structure for a bipolar junction transistor. The structure includes a first terminal having a first raised semiconductor layer having a top surface and a side surface, a second terminal having a second raised semiconductor layer, and a base layer positioned in a lateral direction between the first raised semiconductor layer of the first terminal and the second raised semiconductor layer of the second terminal. The structure further includes a contact positioned to overlap with the top surface and the side surface of the first raised semiconductor layer.
