Abstract

In a semiconductor device, an emitter electrode has a polysilicon layer provided in a first contact hole and on a first insulating film. The polysilicon layer is in contact with an emitter region and is covered with a metal layer. A second contact hole is provided on a part of a second insulating film located on a substantially flat portion of the metal layer. A third contact hole is provided in those portions of the first insulating film and a second insulating layer which are located on a base region.
