Abstract

A vertical bipolar transistor arrangement in which the distance between the emitter and the isolation region is kept within a range determined by the sum of emitter depth and base width (i.e., the thickness of the base in the depth direction). This keeps the carriers given by the emitter from getting trapped inside, thereby preventing the cut-off frequency from dropping.
