Abstract
A Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor, HBT, () containing a collector layer (), a base layer () and an emitter layer () is constructed such that the collector layer (), the base layer () and the emitter layer () have different lattice constants of a, aand arespectively, and a value of abetween values of aand a(in other words, the values of a, aand asatisfy a relationship of a>a>aor a<a<a). According to the present invention, the HBT having a high reliability can be realized without altering the existing apparatus and steps for producing the HBT extensively.
