Abstract:
In some embodiments, a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is provided. The BJT may include a collector region that is disposed within a semiconductor substrate. A base region that is disposed within the semiconductor substrate and arranged within the collector region. An emitter region that is disposed within the semiconductor substrate and arranged within the base region. A pre-metal dielectric layer that is disposed over an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate and that separates the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate from a lowermost metal interconnect layer. A first plurality of dishing prevention columns that are arranged over the emitter region and within the pre-metal dielectric layer, where the plurality of dishing prevention columns each include a dummy gate that is conductive and electrically floating.

Claim (Index 31):
The IC of  claim 30 , wherein:\n the plurality of dishing prevention columns comprises a plurality of dummy gates, respectively; and the ring-shaped dishing prevention structure comprises a ring-shaped gate, wherein the plurality of dummy gates and the ring-shaped gate comprise a same material.
