Bipolar transistor
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a bipolar transistor capable of improving a current amplification rate while improving voltage resistance. A bipolar transistor is provided with a p-type emitter region, a p-type collector region, an n-type base region located between the emitter region and the collector region, a p-type first embedded region located below the base region, and an n-type region having a lower n-type impurity concentration than the base region, being in contact with the emitter region, the collector region, the base region and the first embedded region, separating the emitter region from the base region and the first embedded region, and separating the collector region from the base region and the first embedded region. A part of the base region projects out toward a collector region side than the first embedded region does.
