Abstract

See full text

A system for forming self-aligned contacts includes electroplating a first metal contact onto a Group III-V semiconductor substrate, the first metal contact having a greater height than width and having a straight sidewall profile, etching back the semiconductor substrate down to a base layer to expose an emitter semiconductor layer under the first metal contact, conformally depositing a dielectric layer on a vertical side of the first metal contact, a vertical side of the emitter semiconductor layer and on the base layer, anisotropically etching the dielectric layer off of the semiconductor substrate to form a dielectric sidewall spacer on the vertical side of the first metal contact and providing a second metal contact immediately adjacent the dielectric sidewall spacer.
