  • Patent number: 4994880
    Abstract: Base regions of first and second stage transistors are formed in a semiconductor substrate consisting of low and high resistivity collector layers, and emitter regions are formed in the respective base regions. The emitter region of the second stage transistor has an interdigital structure with a plurality of finger portions, and an emitter surface electrode is formed on the emitter region of the second stage transistor. The second stage transistor emitter surface electrode has an extending portion at a position spaced apart from a transistor operation region where the finger portions are formed. An emitter connection electrode is formed on the extending portion, and a lead is connected by soldering or the like to the emitter connection electrode.
