    Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a plurality of transistor rows. Corresponding to the plurality of transistor rows, a first bump connected to a collector of the transistor is arranged, and a second bump connected to an emitter is arranged. The transistor rows are arranged along sides of a convex polygon. A first land and a second land provided in a circuit board are connected to the first bump and the second bump, respectively. A first impedance conversion circuit connects the first land and the signal output terminal. A plurality of transistors in the transistor row are grouped into a plurality of groups, and the first impedance conversion circuit includes a reactance element arranged for each of the groups.

    Abstract: A power amplifier includes initial-stage and output-stage amplifier circuits, and initial-stage and output-stage bias circuits. The initial-stage amplifier circuit includes a first high electron mobility transistor having a source electrically connected to a reference potential, and a gate to which a radio-frequency input signal is inputted, and a first heterojunction bipolar transistor having an emitter electrically connected to a drain of the first high electron mobility transistor, a base electrically connected to the reference potential in an alternate-current fashion, and a collector to which direct-current power is supplied and from which a radio-frequency signal is outputted. The output-stage amplifier circuit includes a second heterojunction bipolar transistor having an emitter electrically connected to the reference potential, a base to which the radio-frequency signal outputted from the first heterojunction bipolar transistor is inputted, and a collector to which direct-current power is supplied and from which a radio-frequency output signal is outputted.

    Abstract: A first wiring is disposed above operating regions of plural unit transistors formed on a substrate. A second wiring is disposed above the substrate. An insulating film is disposed on the first and second wirings. First and second cavities are formed in the insulating film. As viewed from above, the first and second cavities entirely overlap with the first and second wirings, respectively. A first bump is disposed on the insulating film and is electrically connected to the first wiring via the first cavity. A second bump is disposed on the insulating film and is electrically connected to the second wiring via the second cavity. As viewed from above, at least one of the plural operating regions is disposed within the first bump and is at least partially disposed outside the first cavity. The planar configuration of the first cavity and that of the second cavity are substantially identical.

    Abstract: A high-frequency signal processing apparatus and a wireless communication apparatus can achieve a decrease in power consumption. For example, when an indicated power level to a high-frequency power amplifier is equal to or greater than a second reference value, envelope tracking is performed by causing a source voltage control circuit to control a high-speed DCDC converter using a detection result of an envelope detecting circuit and causing a bias control circuit to indicate a fixed bias value. The source voltage control circuit and the bias control circuit indicate a source voltage and a bias value decreasing in proportion to a decrease in the indicated power level when the indicated power level is in a range of the second reference value to the first reference value, and indicate a fixed source voltage and a fixed bias value when the indicated power level is less than the first reference value.

    Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes a first transistor that amplifies a first signal and outputs a second signal; a second transistor that amplifies the second signal and outputs a third signal; a bias circuit that supplies a bias current to a base of the second transistor; and a bias adjustment circuit that adjusts the bias current to be supplied by the bias circuit by subjecting the first signal to detection. The bias adjustment circuit controls the bias current to be supplied to the base of the second transistor by drawing, from the bias circuit, a current of a magnitude corresponding to a magnitude of the first signal. The current increases as the magnitude of the first signal increases.

    Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes an active element on a first surface of a substrate. A heat-conductive film having a higher thermal conductivity than the substrate is disposed at a position different from a position of the active element. An insulating film covering the active element and heat-conductive film is disposed on the first surface. A bump electrically connected to the heat-conductive film is disposed on the insulating film. A via-hole extends from a second surface opposite to the first surface to the heat-conductive film. A heat-conductive member having a higher thermal conductivity than the substrate is continuously disposed from a region of the second surface overlapping the active element in plan view to an inner surface of the via-hole. The bump is connected to a land of a printed circuit board facing the first surface. The semiconductor chip is sealed with a resin.
