Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit comprises the steps of: forming buried layers in predetermined regions of a semiconductor substrate; forming an epitaxial layer covering the substrate and the buried layers; forming isolation regions dividing the epitaxial layer into a plurality of islands; selectively implanting ions to form a base region of a vertical bipolar transistor in a surface layer of one island and simultaneously to form a resistor region in a surface layer of another island; and selectively diffusing impurities into a surface layer of the base region, to form an emitter region of the vertical bipolar transistor.
