Bipolar transistor structure with collector on polycrystalline isolation layer and methods to form same

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a bipolar transistor structure with a collector on a polycrystalline isolation layer. A polycrystalline isolation layer may be on a substrate, and a collector layer may be on the polycrystalline isolation layer. The collector layer has a first doping type and includes a polycrystalline semiconductor. A base layer is on the collector layer and has a second doping type opposite the first doping type. An emitter layer is on the base layer and has the first doping type. A material composition of the doped collector region is different from a material composition of the base layer.
