摘要:
A second strip conductor is located, in a lamination direction of a multilayer substrate, at a is different position from that of a first strip conductor. A first grounding conductor and a second grounding conductor are disposed sequentially in the lamination direction of the multilayer substrate and sandwich the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor. The first grounding conductor includes a first grounding conductor portion for a wiring prohibited area in which no wiring may be placed, and a second grounding conductor portion for an area other than the wiring prohibited area. The second grounding conductor portion is positioned, in the lamination direction of the multilayer substrate, at a location is different from that of the first grounding conductor portion.

A high frequency power amplifier with reduced power loss and improved power amplification efficiency has an output matching circuit providing an open circuit to a second harmonic and a short circuit to a third harmonic of a high frequency signal. This is accomplished by, for example, adjusting lengths of a drain bias line and a plurality of signal lines so that the phase of S parameter S11 (input reflection coefficient) to the second harmonic is from −80° to 140°, and the phase of S parameter S11 to the third harmonic is from 160° to 220°. The line length of each line in an input matching circuit is also adjusted so that the phase of S parameter S22 (output reflection coefficient) at the fundamental frequency is between +5° to −75°.

摘要:
A semiconductor chip for amplification is connected between input-side and output-side matching circuits, and each of matching circuits includes balanced circuits which receive signals different in phase by 180 degrees, divided from an input signal. The balanced circuits are connected at a virtual grounding point, which is used as a grounding point sensitive to RF characteristics in an IPD. Thus, a semiconductor device can be free from influence of variations of grounding wires and can be reduced in size, weight, and cost.
