Abstract
A vertical type construction transistor is provided wherein a bump electrode is disposed immediately on the junction portions formed on the surface of the semiconductor basic plate so as to effect a radiating operation with the electrode being connected to a heat sink. As a result the heating of the junction portion formed on the basic plate surface is effectively released, the inductance of the outgoing line is reduced, and the power amplification used in the microwave band is put to practical use.
Claims4
A vertical type construction transistor comprising:
- a semiconductor basic plate;
- a junction portion formed on a surface of said semiconductor basic plate, said junction portion including a boundary of an emitter region provided within a base region;
- and
- a bump electrode provided immediately on said junction portion, said emitter region being of a size in approximate conformity with a width of said bump electrode and said emitter region being divided into a plurality of short strips of finger portions arranged in parallel with a size in a longitudinal direction of said finger portions and said width of said bump electrode in said longitudinal direction being set in a range of 5 .mu.m-40 .mu.m.
A method for forming a vertical type construction transistor, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a junction portion on a surface of a semiconductor basic plate;
- (b) providing a boundary of an emitter region within a base region of said junction portion;
- (c) providing a bump electrode immediately on said junction portion;
- (d) approximately conforming a size of said emitter region with a width of said bump electrode;
