Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a super self-aligned heterojunction bipolar transistor which is capable of miniaturizing an element, simplifying the process step thereof by employing a selective collector epitaxial growth and a polycide base electrode without using a trench for isolating between elements, thereby enhancing the performance thereof, which comprises the steps of: forming sequently a first oxidation film, an electrically conducting thin film and a second oxidation film on top of a substrate; patterning the second oxidation film and the conducting thin film to form a preliminary spacer; removing an exposed portion of the first oxidation film, and selectively growing a collector layer; oxidizing the collector layer to form a thermal oxidation film, and removing the preliminary spacer; depositing a polysilicon and forming a silicon oxidation film and a polysilicon spacer on the second oxidation film and the removed portion of the preliminary spacer, respectively; exposing the base thin film, the spacer and the collector layer to form a SiGe/Si layer; forming a base electrode on the SiGe/Si layer; exposing a portion of the first oxidation film and formi…
