Patent ID: 7936022

Claim:
A metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor MOSFET), comprising: a source region; a drain region; a channel region disposed between said source and drain regions; an insulating layer disposed above said channel region; and a gate disposed above said insulating layer, said gate including, a gate region disposed above said channel region and above a portion of said source and drain regions, said gate region including first and second ends disposed opposite one another, a gate pad, a gate pad extension coupled between the first end of said gate region and the gate pad, wherein said gate pad extension and said gate pad extend over a first area adjacent to said channel region, a gate extension coupled to the second end of said gate region and extending over a second area adjacent to said channel region, wherein the MOSFET is configured to process an electromagnetic (EM) signal in a circuit for down-converting the EM signal by aliasing the EM signal.
