Abstract

To obtain both the highest possible maximum operating frequency f.sub.max and early voltage V.sub.A, a semiconductor device provided with a bipolar transistor including a collector region, a base region formed on the collector region, an emitter region formed in contact with the base region, a base leading electrode connected to the base region, and an emitter electrode connected to the emitter region, is characterized in that a ratio Q.sub.B /N.sub.c of base Gunmel number Q.sub.B to impurity concentration N.sub.C of the collector region of the bipolar transistor lies within a range from 0.2.times.10.sup.-3 cm to 2.5.times..sup.-3 cm.
