    摘要: A semiconductor switching device includes a field effect transistor and an inductor structure that provides a frequency dependent inductance in a parallel connection. During the off-state of the semiconductor switching device, the frequency dependent impedance component due to the off-state parasitic capacitance of the switching device is cancelled by the frequency dependent inductance component of the inductor structure, which provides a non-linear impedance as a function of frequency. The inductor structure provides less inductance at a higher operating frequency than at a lower operating frequency to provide more effective cancellation of two impedance components of the parasitic capacitance and the inductance. Thus, the semiconductor switching device can provide low parasitic coupling at multiple operating frequencies. The operating frequencies of the semiconductor switching device can be at gigahertz ranges for millimeter wave applications.

    摘要: A set of metal line structures including a signal transmission metal line and a capacitively-grounded inductively-signal-coupled metal line is embedded in a dielectric material layer. A capacitor is serially connected between the capacitively-grounded inductively-signal-coupled metal line and a local electrical ground, which may be on the input side or on the output side. The set of metal line structures and the capacitor collective provide a frequency dependent inductor. The Q factor of the frequency dependent inductor has multiple peaks that enable the operation of the frequency dependent inductor at multiple frequencies. Multiple capacitively-grounded inductively-signal-coupled metal lines may be provided in the frequency-dependent inductor, each of which is connected to the local electrical ground through a capacitor. By selecting different capacitance values for the capacitors, multiple values of the Q-factor may be obtained in the frequency dependent inductor at different signal frequencies.
