    摘要: An RF power amplifier has a final-stage amplifier stage which generates an RF transmit output signal, a signal detector which detects an RF transmit output level, a first detector, a second detector and a control circuit. The final-stage amplifier stage includes a transistor and a load element and performs saturation type nonlinear amplification and non-saturation type linear amplification. The first detector and the control circuit maintain the RF transmit output signal approximately constant with respect to a variation in load at an antenna at the saturation type nonlinear amplification. The second detector and the control circuit reduce an increase in the output voltage of the final stage transistor with respect to an overload state of the antenna at the non-saturation type linear amplification.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a contact structure not only for a semiconductor device having a hetero-junction bipolar transistor or a hetero-insulated gate field effect transistor but also for semiconductor devices at large. In a semiconductor layer of a polycrystalline or amorphous undoped III-V compound semiconductor or an alloy thereof, a through hole is formed for contact. The size of the through hole is set to permit exposure of at least part of a first conductor layer and a dielectric layer, such as an Si compound, present around the first conductor layer, and a second conductor layer is formed within the through hole so as to contact the first conductor layer. Since the semiconductor layer can be subjected to a selective dry etching for the dielectric layer, the dielectric layer is not etched at the time of forming the above through hole in the semiconductor layer. As a result an electric short-circuit of the second conductor layer with a single crystal semiconductor layer which underlies the dielectric layer can be prevented.
