A bipolar transistor and a radio frequency amplifier circuit capable of
preventing thermal runaway in the bipolar transistor without affecting
the radio frequency amplifier circuit, which includes: a direct-current
(DC) bias terminal to which a DC bias is supplied; a DC base electrode
connected to the DC terminal; a radio frequency (RF) power terminal to
which a radio frequency signal is supplied; an RF base electrode
connected to the RF terminal; and a base layer connected to the DC base
electrode and the RF base electrode.
