Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer formed on an insulation layer and having an MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor area and a bi-polar transistor area; an MOS transistor formed in the MOS transistor area; and a bi-polar transistor formed in the bi-polar transistor area. The MOS transistor includes a source area of a second conductive type; a drain area of the second conductive type; and a channel area of a first conductive type. The MOS transistor further includes a gate electrode formed on the channel area with a first oxide layer inbetween. The bi-polar transistor includes a collector area of the second conductive type; an emitter area of the second conductive type; and a base area of the first conductive type. The bi-polar transistor further includes a dummy pattern formed on the base area with a second oxide layer inbetween.
