Abstract
This transistor is a pnp transistor having a heterojunction of p-type diamond (or BP.sub.x N.sub.1-x, 6HSiC) and n-type SiC (3CSiC)and having a structure in which a p.sup.+ -SiC (3CSiC ) layer, a p-SiC (3CSiC) layer, an n.sup.+ -SiC (3CSiC) layer, a p-diamond (or BP.sub.x N.sub.1-x, 6HSiC ) layer, and a p.sup.+ -diamond (or BP.sub.x N.sub.1-x, 6HSiC) layer are formed on a substrate, and a collector electrode, a base electrode, and an emitter electrode are formed on and electrically connected to the p.sup.+ -Sic layer, the n.sup.+ -SiC layer, and the layer, respectively. This semiconductor device has a high resistance to environment.
