Summary:According to one exemplary embodiment, a bipolar transistor includes a base having a top surface. The bipolar transistor further includes a base oxide layer situated on the top surface of the base. The bipolar transistor further includes an antireflective coating layer situated on the base oxide layer. The bipolar transistor further includes an emitter situated over the top surface of the base and the antireflective coating layer, where a layer of polysilicon is not situated between the base oxide layer and the emitter.
