Abstract

Inverted frustum shaped polycrystalline semiconductor layers are formed on the emitter and collector regions provided on one surface of a semiconductor substrate, and conductor layers are applied on the upper surfaces of the polycrystalline semiconductor surfaces to form emitter and collector electrodes thus providing a bipolar transistor for the integrated circuit device.
