A semiconductor device with a bipolar transistor that decreases the parasitic capacitance between a base connection layer and a collector region is provided. This device is comprised of a semiconductor substrate having a main surface, a collector region formed in the substrate, a base region formed in the substrate, an emitter region formed in the substrate, a first dielectric layer formed on the main surface of the substrate to be overlapped with the collector region, a conductive layer formed on the first dielectric layer and applied with a specific electric potential, a second dielectric layer formed to cover the conductive layer, a base connection layer formed on the second dielectric layer and electrically connected to the base region, and a base electrode electrically connected to the base connection layer. The emitter region, the base region, and the collector region constitute a bipolar transistor. The conductive layer serves as a shielding electrode that prevents a parasitic capacitance between the collector region and the base connection layer from occurring using the Faraday shielding effect.
