Transistor with heat dissipating means

摘要

A semiconductor device having sufficiently high heat dissipation performance while inhibiting an increase in the area of a chip is provided. In semiconductor device 1, a plurality of HBTs 20 and a plurality of diodes 30 are one-dimensionally and alternately arranged on semiconductor substrate 10. Anode electrode 36 of diode 30 is connected to emitter electrode 27 of HBT 20 via common emitter wiring 42. Diode 30 works as heat dissipating elements dissipating to semiconductor substrate 10 the heat transmitted through common emitter wiring 42 from emitter electrode 27, and also works as a protection diode connected in parallel between an emitter and a collector of HBT 20.
