Abstract

A bipolar transistor is formed on a silicon substrate having a silicon oxide film. An n-silicon layer having a top surface of a (100) plane is formed on the silicon oxide film and is used as a collector layer. An end face constituted by a (111) plane is formed on the end portion of the collector layer by etching, using an aqueous KOH solution. A B-doped p-silicon layer is formed on the end face by epitaxial growth and is used as a base layer. Furthermore, an As-doped n-silicon layer is formed on the base layer and is used as an emitter layer. Electrodes are respectively connected to the collector, base, and emitter layers.
