Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of withstand voltage according to the influence of mechanical damage generated at the neighborhood of a beveling edge by a method wherein a sufficient interval is established between the beveling edge and a P-N junction face to generate a depletion layer. CONSTITUTION:A transistor is constituted of an N type substrate 32, a P type base layer 33 and a protrudingly formed N type emitter layer 34, a pressure welding electrode plate 41 is welded with pressure to an emitter electrode 39, and base electrodes 38 are formed on the base layer 33. While a slit to penetrate the above-mentioned three layers 32-34, namely the bevel 40 is formed, and a surface protective agent is buried in the bevel thereof. The part to form the bevel is formed higher in relation to the concave part 35 for the base electrode 38. Namely, when the concave part 35 is to be formed according to etching, the bevel part is made as not to be etched. Accordingly, when etching is to be performed, deterioration of the withstand voltage of the bevel surface according to generation of a crack and a cutout to the beveling edge 42 can be prevented.
