Fabrication of a novel high-voltage double-emitter horizontal current bipolar transistor (HCBT) structure integrated with the standard 0.18-μm CMOS and high-speed HCBT is presented. The device takes advantage of 3-D collector charge sharing to achieve full depletion of the intrinsic collector region...
