Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a heterojunction bipolar transistor using a silicon microcrystal as an emitter, a mask 4 having an opening on an element forming region of the main surface of an n-type silicon monocrystal substrate 1 serving as a collector, a p-type outer base 5 is formed on a part of the element forming region of the main surface of the substrate via the opening of the mask 4 by ion-implanting p-type impurity therein, a p-type inner base 6 is formed on the entire surface of the element forming region of the substrate 1 by ion-implanting p-type impurity therein after removing the mask 4, and an n-type emitter 8 is formed by depositing an n-type silicon microcrystal layer on the inner base 6 at a growth velocity of 15 .ANG./sec by a plasma chemical vapor deposition method in a state that the temperature of said substrate 1 is maintained at a constant temperature between 460.degree. to 550.degree.
