Abstract

A bipolar transistor device having reduced collector-base capacitance and advantageous extrinsic base resistance properties is fabricated by a self-aligned process. Successively formed first and second self-aligned masking spacers are utilized to define the collector-base junction area and to permit the conductivity of base link and base contact portions of the extrinsic base to be independently established.
