  • Publication number: 20050098853
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a base layer 34 formed on an upper part of the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of emitter regions arranged in a plurality of rows, each row thereof being provided on an upper part in the base layer at an equal interval in a first direction of a surface of the substrate, being arranged with a predetermined pitch for odd number rows in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and being arranged with the predetermined pitch for even number rows in the second direction at a position shifted by ½ of the predetermined pitch to the arrangement of the odd number rows; a collector region provided on the upper part of the base layer to surround each of the emitter regions with a predetermined space; an insulating layer provided on the base layer, the emitter layer, and the collector layer; an emitter contact formed on the emitter region through an opening of the insulating layer in a predetermined shape; a collector cont
