Abstract
Abstract In production of a Bi-CMOS semiconductor device, when forming a lateral PNP transistor in a bipolar section, an oxide film is deposited on this base area to prevent etching damages such as those in forming an LDD spacer for a MOS section, thus degradation of the lateral PNP bipolar transistor and drop of yield in production thereof being prevented and a high performance (low cost) Bi-CMOS LSI being realized.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A bipolar transistor in which injury to a base region is prevented by providing a conductive film over an insulation film on a substrate in which the transistor is formed comprising, spaced collector and emitter regions both of a first conductivity type in the surface of said substrate of a second conductivity type, a first insulating layer formed on said substrate between said spaced collector and emitter regions, a conductive layer formed on said first insulation layer between said emitter and collector regions, a lateral base connection connected to said substrate between said emitter and collector regions, a space formed in said conductive layer to form separate collector and emitter electrodes, and a second insulating layer formed in said space formed in said conductive layer, and also formed on the opposite ends of said conductive layer adjacent said collector and emitter regions so as to form insulation side walls thereon.
