Abstract:
A system and method for packaging a semiconductor device that includes a wall to reduce electromagnetic coupling is presented. A semiconductor device has a substrate on which a first circuit and a second circuit are formed proximate to each other. An isolation wall of electrically conductive material is located between the first circuit and the second circuit, the isolation wall being configured to reduce inductive coupling between the first and second circuits during an operation of the semiconductor device. Several types of isolation walls are presented.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a radio-frequency (RF) device includes at least one transistor, a package, and a surface-mountable capacitor. The package contains the at least one transistor and includes at least one termination. The surface-mountable capacitor is coupled in a shunt configuration between the at least one transistor and a power supply terminal of the device to decouple the at least one transistor from a power supply.
