Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a silicon semiconductor substrate, having a main surface including a first region and a second region side-by-side, an epitaxially grown layer of high resistivity as a first layer on the main surface, and an epitaxially grown layer of low resistivity as a second layer on the first layer, and having a resistivity lower than the resistivity of the first layer. The semiconductor device includes a bipolar transistor at the first region and a passive element at the second region. The second layer is covers at least the first region and is absent from at least a portion of the second region.
