Abstract

A device. The device includes two bipolar transistors electrically connected to each other. Each bipolar transistor of the two bipolar transistors may include a base contact and an emitter contact surrounding the base contact, wherein the emitters contacts of the two bipolar transistor are in electrical contact with each other. A first bipolar transistor of the two bipolar transistors may have a first wiring stack and a second bipolar transistor two bipolar transistors may have a second wiring stack, wherein the second wiring stack includes at least one more wiring level than the first wiring stack.
