Method of making a bipolar transistor with polycrystalline contacts

摘要

Disclosed herein is a semiconductor device manufacturing process applicable to a bipolar semiconductor integrated circuit device in which a base electrode (9) is directly extracted from an active base region (61) through a superposed layer of a polysilicon film (601) and a metal silicide film (501) while an emitter electrode (10) is partially formed by a polysilicon film (602) and a contact hole is defined to form a base metal silicide film with the polysilicon film being employed as a mask. Consequently, the distance between an emitter layer (71) and a base electrode hole (50) is reduced without necessity of including margins of emitter and base electrode wires extending over respective holes in the said distance.
