Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an excellent crossmodulation distortion characteristic without deteriorating the yield of the product by loading an inductance to a terminal of a semiconductor element through which an input signal and an output signal pass in common. CONSTITUTION:A GaAs MESFET is employed as a semiconductor chip 2 to constitute a hybrid IC. A source grounding bonding wire 8 is designed longer than a conventional wire in the ultrahigh frequency amplifier, and one terminal of the wire 8 is connected to a source of the chip 2 as an inductance loaded to the source of the chip 2 and the other terminal is connected to a metallic case. Through the constitution above, it is possible for the manufacture to take grounding with the wire 8 whose length is selected to be 1 - 2mm. Thus, as the source inductance, 0.3 - 1nH is obtained. With the source inductance used in this way, since a small signal gain is reduced but the saturation output is not reduced, the linearity in the input/output characteristic is improved and crossmodulation distortion is reduced.

The common terminal of the above-mentioned ultra-high frequency amplifier, that is, the source electrode in a common source type amplifier or the emitter electrode in a common emitter type amplifier, is configured to be grounded at the shortest distance in terms of high frequency. The reason for this configuration is that when a resistance component or an inductance component is loaded onto the common terminal, the apparent mutual conductance is reduced, thereby reducing the gain of the amplifier and deteriorating the high frequency characteristics.

[Problems to be Solved] As described above, conventional ultra-high frequency amplifiers reduce the resistance component and inductance component of the common terminal in order to obtain high frequency characteristics. However, if too much emphasis is placed on high-frequency characteristics and the resistance and inductance components are reduced, variations in the mutual conductance of the amplifier elements will occur, and this variation will affect the characteristics of the amplifier, resulting in a problem of poor product yield. There was. Additionally, the nonlinearity of *conductor elements also affects the characteristics of the amplifier if the resistance and inductance components of the common terminal are small, so there is also the problem of worsening the cross-modulation distortion characteristics.
