  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the issue of the alignment between emitter and base of a bipolar process. Current electrical alignment structures usually rely an electrical contact between the layers or a division of one layer by the other. In the case of a bipolar emitter-base structure, neither approach is directly applicable. Here we present an alternative to solve this problem
