Abstract
A radiation-hardened semiconductor device including a bipolar transistor is disclosed in which a highly-doped layer equal in conductivity type to and larger in impurity concentration than the base region of the transistor is formed in that portion of the surface of the base region which exists beneath an insulating film, to prevent minority carriers injected into the base region, from reaching the above-mentioned surface portion. Thus, the injected minority carriers can reach a collector region without being extinguished by the recombination at the surface of the base region.
