Abstract
In a semiconductor device having a bipolar transistor including, on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, the bipolar transistor and an impurity region of a conductivity type which is different from that of a base region of this bipolar transistor, an impurity for forming the base region is implanted into the entire main surface of a semiconductor substrate to form the base region. Accordingly, the manufacturing costs can be reduced without degrading the performance of the device.
