Abstract:
Methods and structures for improving the performance of integrated semiconductor transistors operating at high frequency and/or high power are described. Two capacitors may be connected to an input of a semiconductor transistor and tuned to suppress second-harmonic generation and to transform and match the input impedance of the device. A two-stage tuning procedure is described. The transistor may comprise gallium nitride and may be configured as a power transistor capable of handling up to 1000 W of power. A tuned transistor may operate at frequencies up to 6 GHz with a peak drain efficiency greater than 60%.
