Patent ID: 8653565

Claim:
A multiple Field Effect Transistor (FET) device comprising: a compound semiconductor layer; a first and second control FET fabricated on the compound semiconductor layer as segments of a monolithic device, each control FET segment including: a first and second ohmic metal finger, a control gate finger between the first and second ohmic metal fingers, a first and second control gate pad at opposite ends of the control gate finger and in electrical contact with the control gate finger; a transition control ohmic metal finger between the first control FET and the second control FET; a first transition control gate finger between the transition control ohmic metal finger and the first ohmic metal finger of the first control FET and in electrical contact with the control gate finger between the first and second ohmic metal fingers of the first control FET; and a second transition control gate finger between the transition control ohmic metal finger and the second control FET and in electrical contact with the control gate finger between the first and second ohmic metal fingers of the second control FET, the first transition control gate finger electrically isolated from the second transition control gate finger.
