Abstract

Device structure and fabrication methods for a bipolar junction transistor. A trench isolation region is formed that bounds an active device region along a sidewall. A dielectric region is formed that extends laterally from the sidewall of the active device region into the active device region. The dielectric region is located beneath a top surface of the active device region such that a section of the active device region is located between the top surface and the dielectric region.
