A lateral bipolar transistor includes an emitter region, a base region, a collector region, and a gate disposed over the base region. A bias line is connected to the gate for applying a bias voltage thereto during operation of the transistor. The polarity of the bias voltage is such as to create an accumulation layer in the base under the gate. The accumulation layer provides a low-resistance path for the transistor base current, thus reducing the base resistance of the transistor.
