PURPOSE: To avoid a voltage drop between an emitter and a collector by using a horizontal bipolar transistor having a base defined by the gate of a polycrystalline silicon. CONSTITUTION: A horizontal gate-emphasized PNP transistor(TR) 31 is formed in a BiCMOS integrated circuit together with a longitudinal NPN TR. When an input 29 is a low level, the base connection of the TR 31 is gated by the operation of a P-channel device 33 and turned to a conductive state. At the time, the base device 31 conducts a current and holds a gate at low potential and voltage can be completely pulled up to a level Vdd. When the input state of an inverter is in a reverse state, a high level signal gates the device 34 at an on state, a collector is almost held at Vss and a P-channel device 32 connects its base and emitter together to turn the device to a non-conductive state. Consequently, the function of a MOS FET can be obtained and voltage drop between the collector and emitter can be avoided. |
