Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor substrate;a first layer located over the semiconductor substrate wherein the first layer is electrically conductive and has a first resistivity, wherein the first layer has a first portion, a second portion adjacent to the first portion, and a third portion adjacent to the second portion, and wherein the second portion electrically couples the first portion to the third portion;a second layer having a second resistivity lower than the first resistivity wherein a first portion of the second layer is located on the first portion of the first layer, wherein a second portion of the second layer is located on the third portion of the first layer, wherein the second layer is devoid of covering the second portion of the first layer; anda transistor supported by the semiconductor substrate wherein the first and second layers form a gate electrode for the transistor,wherein the gate electrode comprises:a gate feed network; andgate finders coupled to the gate feed network, andwherein the gate feed network comprises the second portion of the first layer.
