A high-frequency switching apparatus is composed of a transfer circuit unit including a plurality of FETs, and a shunt circuit unit including a plurality of FETs, as well. An electromagnetic wave absorption material element is connected to an end of the shunt circuit unit. To a connection point between the shunt circuit unit and the electromagnetic wave absorption material element, an external voltage terminal for fixing a potential at the point is connected. By this, a high-frequency switching apparatus is obtained which is excellent in isolation characteristics and is hard to break down even when a signal of a high voltage, such as an electrostatic surge, flows into the apparatus.

A high-frequency switch circuit arrangement. A plurality of stages (for example, two stages) of capacitative elements connected in series (C11 and C12, C21 and C22) are used in a shunt path of a high-frequency component. If a surge voltage is applied, the voltage that each capacitative element should bear decreases in inverse proportion to the number of the connection stages. Consequently, the surge resistance of the capacitative element is improved. The capacitative elements connected in series can be manufactured using the usual manufacturing process of compound semiconductor devices and if the structure of the invention is adopted, a protective diode need not be provided. As the capacity is made common and the device structure is designed, the high-frequency switch circuit arrangement can be further made compact, etc.

The present invention provides an inexpensive radio frequency switching circuit having desirable radio frequency characteristics over a wide band and desirable endurance against the inflow of a high voltage signal such as an electrostatic surge. Either a negative bias voltage or a positive bias voltage being greater than or equal to 0V and less than or equal to a Schottky forward voltage is used for the control terminals V11 and V12 for controlling FETs 11 to 18 and FETs 21 to 28 so as to turn ON/OFF the path extending from the first input/output terminal P11 to the second input/output terminal P12 and the path extending from the first input/output terminal P11 to the third input/output terminal P13. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the need for DC cut capacitors.

On a ceramic substrate, spiral-type inductors of a single layer wiring of a metal thin film are provided and respectively connected to a wiring pattern formed on another face of the substrate via through holes. A semiconductor chip is flip-chip mounted on the substrate in a face-down manner. On the face of the semiconductor chip, capacitors composed of a highly dielectric material, resistors formed by an ion implantation method or a thin-film forming method, and FETs are provided, respectively. Interconnection between the substrate and an external circuit board is achieved employing terminals formed at end faces of the substrate. The terminals have a concave shape with respect to the end face of the substrate. Thus, there is no need to use a package, and miniaturization and reduction in cost of a high-performance hybrid IC is achieved.

The overall gain of the circuit can be varied within a necessary range by simultaneously operating these gain controls, and the third order distortion can be improved monotonously with the decrease of the gain.
