摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a plurality of heterojunction bipolar transistors with their base layer made of GaAsSb or InGaAs, a GaAs substrate, and a buffer layer placed between the base layer and the substrate is fabricated. The substrate and the buffer layer that lie directly under the intrinsic regions of a part or all of the plurality of heterojunction bipolar transistors are removed. Thereby, a semiconductor device using HBTs that can operate with a power supply voltage of 2 V or below can be provided at reduced cost as a well-reliable product, and a power amplifier with high power conversion efficiency can be provided.

This invention relates to a threshold voltage detection circuit for detecting the threshold voltage of field effect transistors (FETs) and to a semiconductor circuit capable of a stable operation irrespective of the fluctuation of the threshold voltage by utilizing this threshold voltage detection circuit. The source-drain path of first FET is connected in series with that of second FET having substantially the same threshold voltage as that of the first FET and the conductances of these first and second FETs are set to a predetermined ratio to generate a voltage drop associated with the threshold voltage in the first FET. This voltage drop can be used for detecting the threshold voltage and for level-shifting. The output of the series connection of the first and second FETs is applied to the gate of a constant current FET having the same threshold voltage as that of the first and second FETs and the drain current of the constant current FET can thus be set irrespective of the fluctuation of the threshold voltage.

A current switching circuit enabling current switching at a speed of several gigabits per second (Gbit/sec) or several giga Hertz (GHz) in analog integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits using GaAs FETs is so constructed that the current switching is effected by a pair of diodes, whose cathodes are connected in common and which are driven by a GaAs FET circuit (source follower circuit). This current switching circuit includes first and second FETs, each of which has a source, a drain and a gate. First and second input signals are connected to the gates of the first and the second FETs, respectively. First and second diodes are provided with anodes connected with the sources of the first and the second FETs, respectively. A constant current source is connected in common with the cathodes of the first and the second diodes, and a load circuit is connected with the drain of at least one of the first and the second FETs. By virtue of this arrangement, current flowing through the load circuit is switched, depending on the first and the second input signals, with an output signal being taken out from each load circuit.

The present invention provides a power amplifier module featuring that: its output power characteristic smoothly changes as the input control Voltage changes; and its control sensitivity is stable over a wide dynamic range. By same means, idling current for gain setting is supplied to a single amplifier element or all of multiple stages of amplifier elements of the power amplifier module. By making this idling current behave so as to exponentially change, relative to input control voltage, the invention enables output power control proportional to the input control voltage.
