Abstract

A low-noise PNP transistor comprising a cutoff region laterally surrounding the emitter region in the surface portion of the transistor. The cutoff region has such a conductivity is to practically turn off the surface portion of the transistor, so that the transistor operates mainly in the bulk portion. The cutoff region is formed by an N.sup.+ -type enriched base region arranged between the emitter region and the collector region.
