Abstract
A bipolar transistor comprising a collector region of a first conduction type, and a subcollector region of the first conduction type at a first side of the collector region. The transistor further includes a base region of the second conduction type provided at a second side of the collector region, and an emitter region of the first conduction type which is provided above the base region on the side remote from the collection region. A carbon-doped semiconductor region is provided on the first side alongside the collector region. The bipolar transistor is characterized in that the carbon-doped semiconductor region has a carbon concentration of 10-10cmand the base region has a smaller cross section than the collector region and the collector region has, in the overlap region with the base region, a region having an increased doping compared with the remaining region. The carbon-doped semiconductor region prevents an outdiffusion from the zone of the collector region into the remaining region of the collector region.
