Abstract
The betas of the bipolar transistors in a BiCMOS semiconductor structure are increased by forming the emitters of the bipolar transistors with two implants: a source-drain implant that forms a first emitter region at the same time that the source and drain regions are formed, and an additional implant that forms a second emitter region at the same time that another region is formed. The additional implant has an implant energy that is greater than the implant energy of the source-drain implant.
