Abstract:
1. A structure comprising: a semiconductor substrate having formed thereon: (C) a second microstrip transmission line comprising: an output portion of a second strip conductor; an input portion of the second strip conductor providing the second conductive pad for the second one of the plurality of electrodes, and a second ground plane conductor portion disposed under the output portion of the second strip conductor and positioned to support a third electric field through the substrate between the output portion of the second strip conductor and the second ground plane conductor, the second strip conductor being coplanar with the first, second, and pair of third conductive pads of the plurality of electrodes of the single transistor; and wherein each one of the pair of third conductive pads has a second terminating end portion disposed adjacent to, and laterally spaced from, opposite sides of the second conductive pad to support a fourth electric field between the second conductive pad and the second terminating end portion of each one of the pair of third conductive pads to provide a second coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line connected between the second microstrip transmission line and the single transistor; wherein the second terminating end portion of a first one of the pair of third conductive pads and the second terminating end portion of a second one of the pair of third conductive pads are disposed on a second straight line; wherein the second conductive pad is disposed on the second straight line between the second terminating end portion of the first one of the pair of third conductive pads and the second terminating end portion of the second one of the pair of third conductive pads; wherein the second terminating end portion of the first one of the pair of third conductive pads, the second conductive pad, and the second terminating end portion of the second one of the pair of third conductive pads form the second CPW transmission line; and wherein each one of the pair of third conductive pads begins at the first terminating end, extends laterally along said predetermined length of the single transistor, and terminates at the second terminating end.
