Abstract

A silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is disclosed, including: a substrate; two field oxide regions formed in the substrate; two pseudo buried layers, each being formed under a corresponding one of the field oxide regions; a collector region formed between the field oxide regions, the collector region laterally extending under a corresponding one of the field oxide regions and each side of the collector region being connected with a corresponding one of the pseudo buried layers; a matching layer formed under both the pseudo buried layers and the collector region; and two deep hole electrodes, each being formed in a corresponding one of the field oxide regions, the deep hole electrodes being connected to the corresponding ones of the pseudo buried layers for picking up the collector region. A manufacturing method of the SiGe HBT is also disclosed.
