  • Patent number: 10868155
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a heterojunction bipolar transistor and a bump. The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) includes a plurality of unit transistors. The bump is electrically connected to emitters of the plurality of unit transistors through respective overlying conductor filled via openings that overlap in a plan view with a width portion of the bump. The semiconductor device reduces heat resistance in an HBT cell by satisfying two conditions, the first of which is related to specific sizing and positioning of a width portion of the overlying via opening relative to the width portion of the bump, and the second of which is related to positioning the base electrode entirely within a specific region of the width portion of the overlapping overlying via opening.
