Abstract

A bipolar transistor comprises an n-type Si semiconductor body having a convex portion, an insulation film covering the surface of the semiconductor body other than the convex portion, and a p-type polycrystalline Si layer formed on the insulation film. A p-type region formed in the convex portion serves as an intrinsic base region, the polycrystalline Si layer serves as an extrinsic base region, an n-type region formed in the intrinsic base region serves as an emitter region, and the body serves as a collector region.
