Bipolar transistor

Abstract

A device includes a bipolar transistor. The bipolar transistor includes: a collector region, a base region, and an emitter region. A first metallization is in contact with the emitter region, a second metallization is in contact with the base region, and a third metallization is in contact with the collector region. A first connection element is coupled to the first metallization and has dimensions, in a plane of the interface between the first metallization and the connection element, greater than dimensions of the first metallization. A second connection element is coupled to the second metallization and passes through spacers, which at least partially cover the second metallization, surrounding the emitter region. A third connection element is coupled to the third metallization and passes through spacers, which at least partially cover the third metallization, surrounding the base region.
