On a semi-insulating substrate, an emitter layer (or a collector layer), a base layer, a compound semiconductor layer containing In and a collector layer (or an emitter layer) are provided. The collector layer (or the emitter layer) is patterned to form a collector region (or an emitter region). When the base surface is revealed by a reactive ion beam etching, the etching will be stopped at the compound semiconductor layer that contains In. Consequently, the nonuniformity in the base resistance that depends on the thickness of the base lead-out region can be reduced.
