A semiconductor switching device includes a field effect transistor and an inductor structure that provides a frequency dependent inductance in a parallel connection. During the off-state of the semiconductor switching device, the frequency dependent impedance component due to the off-state parasitic capacitance of the switching device is cancelled by the frequency dependent inductance component of the inductor structure, which provides a non-linear impedance as a function of frequency. The inductor structure provides less inductance at a higher operating frequency than at a lower operating frequency to provide more effective cancellation of two impedance components of the parasitic capacitance and the inductance. Thus, the semiconductor switching device can provide low parasitic coupling at multiple operating frequencies. The operating frequencies of the semiconductor switching device can be at gigahertz ranges for millimeter wave applications.

Disclosed is a chip with a power divider/combiner, a module incorporating the chip and associated methods. The divider/combiner comprises first and second metal layers on opposite sides of a substrate. Interconnects extend through the substrate and comprise: a first interconnect, second interconnects annularly arranged about the first interconnect and third interconnects annularly arranged about the second interconnects. Each interconnect comprises one or more through silicon vias lined/filled with a conductor. For a power divider, an opening in the first metal layer at the first interconnect comprises an input port for receiving power and openings in the first or second metal layer at the second interconnects comprise output ports for applying power to other devices. For a power combiner, openings in the first or second metal layer at the second interconnects comprise the input ports and an opening in the first metal layer at the first interconnect comprises an output port.
