A conventional semiconductor device, for example, a lateral PNP transistor has a problem that it is difficult to obtain a desired current-amplification factor while maintaining a breakdown voltage characteristic without increasing the device size. In a semiconductor device, that is a lateral PNP transistor, according to the present invention, an N type epitaxial layer is formed on a P type single crystal silicon substrate. The epitaxial layer is used as a base region. Moreover, molybdenum (Mo) is diffused in the substrate and the epitaxial layer. With this structure, the base current is adjusted, and thereby a desired current-amplification factor (hFE) of the lateral PNP transistor is achieved. |
