Abstract
A bipolar transistor according to the invention is provided with structure that an intrinsic base made of single crystal Si—Ge and a base leading-out electrode are connected via a link base made of polycrystal Si—Ge by doping at high concentration, further, a part immediately under the intrinsic base has the same conductive type as that of a collector and in a peripheral part, a single crystal Si—Ge layer having the same conductive type as that of a base is provided between the intrinsic base and a collector layer. Hereby, the reduction of the resistance of the link base between the intrinsic base and the base leading-out electrode and the reduction of capacitance between the collector and the base are simultaneously realized, and a self-aligned bipolar transistor wherein capacitance between an emitter and the base and capacitance between the collector and the base are respectively small, power consumption is small and high speed operation is enabled is acquired.
