Patent number: 6134424Abstract: A MESFET of a GaAs semiconductor device having a p-pocket LDD structure is used for a high-frequency power amplifier of a mobile communication device, in order to decrease current consumption and to increase the continuous operating time of a battery. The high-frequency power amplifier is provided with a gate-bias adjusting feedback element between the drain and gate of the MESFET. Thus, even if there is a great difference between the filled and terminated potentials of the discharge voltage of the battery for supplying electric power to the amplifier, electric power can be supplied near the terminated potential for a long time, so that the mobile communication device can be continuously used for a long time.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1997Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kazuya Nishihori, Yoshiaki Kitaura, Mayumi Morizuka, Atsushi Kameyama, Masami Nagaoka, Hirotsugu Wakimoto, Tadahiro Sasaki

Patent number: 5185650Abstract: A high-speed semiconductor integrated circuit device has a main circuit section formed on a substrate, and a capacitance section formed on the substrate to surround the main circuit section. The capacitance section is made up of two conductive layers, an upper layer being insulatively disposed above a lower layer. These layers are applied with a power source voltage and a ground voltage, respectively. High-speed signal lines insulatively traverse the capacitance section and are connected to the main circuit section. The capacitance section is disconnected in the region where each signal transmission line passes, and defines a micro-strip type signal transmission line path structure. A "ladder"-shaped connection pattern is provided at each disconnected portion of the capacitance section, for electrically connecting a conductive layer arranged on one side of the disconnected portion to the corresponding layer arranged on the other side of the disconnected portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1992Date of Patent: February 9, 1993Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hirotsugu Wakimoto, Mitsuo Konno, Kunio Yoshihara
