    摘要: In a high frequency power amplifier module of a multi-stage structure in which a plurality of heterojunction bipolar transistors (npn-type HBTs) are cascade-connected, a protection circuit in which a plurality of pn junction diodes are connected in series is connected between the collector and emitter of each HBT. The p-side is connected to the collector side, and the n-side is connected to the emitter side. A protection circuit in which pn junction diodes of the number equal to or smaller than that of the pn junction diodes are connected in series is connected between the base and the emitter. The p-side is connected to the base side, and the n-side is connected to the emitter side. With the configuration, in the case where an overvoltage is applied across the collector and emitter due to a fluctuation in load on the antenna side, the collector terminal is clamped by an ON-state voltage of the protection circuits, so that the HBT can be prevented from being destroyed. Since the similar protection circuit is assembled between the base and emitter, even when the operator touches the module at the time of manufacturing the high frequency power amplifier module, the HBT can be prevented from being destroyed by the clamping effect of the protection circuit between the base and emitter and the protection circuit between the collector and emitter. Thus, an improved manufacturing yield of the high frequency power amplifier module and a wireless communication apparatus can be achieved, and destruction caused by fluctuation in load impedance of the wireless communication apparatus can be prevented.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit memory is disclosed in which a first impurity-doped layer for making circuit elements such as MESFET's and a second impurity-doped layer opposite in conductivity type to the first impurity-doped layer are formed in a semi-insulating substrate in such a manner that the second impurity-doped layer is formed under and between circuit elements for making up a memory cell array part and a peripheral circuit part, and is divided into at least first and second regions. For example, the first region formed under and between the circuit elements of the memory cell array part is made of a P-type layer which is high in carrier density, and the second region formed under and between the circuit elements of the peripheral circuit part is made of a P-type layer which is low in carrier density. The high carrier-density P-type layer formed under the memory cell array part allows a memory cell having a minimum critical charge for alpha-particles to gain satisfactory alpha-particle immunity even when the memory cell is made fine in size. Further, the low carrier-density P-type layer formed under the peripheral circuit part having a critical charge larger than that of the memory cell can improve the alpha-particle immunity of the peripheral circuit part and can suppress an increase in parasitic capacitance at the peripheral circuit part to maintain the high-speed operation of the memory.
