Abstract

In a bipolar transistor, around the border line of the surface of a base region formed on a semiconductor substrate is formed a base electrode having a constant width of less than one micron and made of polycrystalline silicon. An island shaped emitter region is formed in the base region and an emitter electrode is formed on the surface of the emitter region. The emitter electrode is electrically isolated from the base electrode by an insulating film extending between the periphery of the emitter region and the base electrode.
