Abstract:
A FET comprising two or more gate pads or terminals, and a reflection type oscillator including the above-mentioned FET. In this oscillator, a dielectric resonator is connected through a coupling line to the first gate pad of the FET and an output terminal is connected to the second pad. When the drain pad of the FET is connected to ground, and a suitable value of capacitive reactance is added to the source pad, then a negative resistance -R appears on the first gate pad, and thus oscillation occurs at a resonance frequency fo of the dielectric resonator. If the load resistance value viewed from the second gate pad is set to R, the maximum oscillation output occurs. Accordingly this oscillator enables to set the oscillation conditions between the source and gate pads of the FET, and the output matching conditions between the second gate pad and the output terminal separately, and thus allows to set the oscillation conditions and the output matching conditions, respectively, simultaneously to the optimum values.
Abstract:
A packaged semiconductor device for use at ultra-high frequencies is characterized by improved high frequency characteristics as a result of reduced stay capacitance and reduced energy loss. The device includes a dielectric substrate and at least two conductor layers each of which is integral and extends over the top, side, and bottom surfaces of the dielectric substrate. No part of the conductor layer on the top surface overlaps the part on the bottom surface when viewed in a direction normal to the substrate.
