Abstract

A bipolar RAM comprising a plurality of memory cells formed of cross-coupled bipolar transistors and a peripheral bipolar circuit formed of bipolar transistor, provided with an epitaxial layer which is to be the collector region of the bipolar transistor in the memory cell portion which is thinner and has higher impurity density than the epitaxial layer which is to be the collector region of a bipolar transistor in the peripheral circuit.
