Abstract: A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) includes a substrate; a source on the substrate; a drain on the substrate spaced from the source; and a gate between the source and the drain, wherein the gate has a stem contacting the substrate, the stem having a source side surface and a drain side surface, wherein a source side angle is defined between the source side surface and an upper planar surface of the substrate and a drain side angle is defined between the drain side surface and the upper planar surface of the substrate, and wherein the source side angle and the drain side angle are asymmetric. Methods for making the HEMT are also disclosed.

Abstract: A Field Effect Transistor (FET) having a source, drain, and gate disposed laterally along a surface of a semiconductor and a field plate structure: having one end connected to the source; and having a second end disposed between the gate and the drain and separated from the drain by a gap. A dielectric structure is disposed over the semiconductor, having: a first portion disposed under the second end of the field plate structure; and, a second, thinner portion under the gap.

Abstract: A transmission line structure having a pair of separated coplanar waveguide transmissions line section. A coupling circuit is coupled between the pair of coplanar waveguide transmissions line sections, the coupling circuit suppresses common mode signals therein and passes, substantially unsuppressed, differential mode signal transmission between the pair of coplanar waveguide transmissions line sections.
