Abstract

A transistor that includes a doped buried region 320 within a semiconductor body 300, 340. The doped buried region includes a portion having a first thickness 348 and a second thickness, the first thickness being less than the second thickness. In one embodiment the first thickness is about half the second thickness. The transistor also includes a collector region 342 over the buried region, a base region 396 within the collector region, and an emitter region 422 within the base region.
