A vertical PNP transistor for use in an integrated circuit is disclosed. A P-type substrate serves as collector. An N-type epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate and serves as base. A P-type region is formed in the epitaxial layer and serves as emitter. An N+-type localized buried layer is formed on the substrate in the area beneath the emitter. The localized buried layer covers less than all of the area under the emitter. An N+-type sinker region is formed through the epitaxial layer, connecting to the localized buried layer and serving as a connection to the base of the vertical PNP transistor.
