Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an n.sup.+ type InGaAs layer at a surface of the device, a refractory metal emitter electrode making ohmic contact to the n.sup.+ layer without alloying, and an externally accessible base region produced in the neighborhood of the emitter electrode by a diffusion using the emitter electrode and an insulating side wall film as a diffusion mask.
