ABSTRACT:
In a homo-junction bipolar transistor suitable for a low temperature operation below 200.degree.K. (particularly below 77 K), the maximum value of the impurity concentration of an intrinsic base region is set to be at least 1.times.10.sup.18 /cm.sup.3. The impurity concentration of an emitter region is set to a value lower than this maximum value. Thus, a base resistance can be reduced and high speed operation becomes possible. Furthermore, bandgap narrowing develops in the intrinsic base region and a common-emitter current gain in the low temperature operation can be kept at a sufficient value. When this homo-junction bipolar transistor is formed together with complementary insulated gate field effect transistors on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, there can be obtained a Bi-CMOS device capable of a high speed operation even in the low temperature operation.
