LATERAL BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR WITH REDUCED BASE RESISTANCE
First Claim
1. A lateral bipolar junction transistor formed in a semiconductor substrate, comprising:
- an emitter region;
a base region surrounding the emitter region;
a gate disposed at least over a portion of the base region;
a collector region having at least one open side and being disposed about a periphery of the base region;
a shallow trench isolation (STI) region disposed about a periphery of the collector region;
a base contact region disposed about a periphery of the STI region; and
an extension region merging with the base contact region and laterally extending to the gate on the at least one open side of the collector region.
