A semiconductor device includes first member that includes a switch made of a semiconductor element made from an elemental semiconductor. The first member is joined to a second member including a radio-frequency circuit including a semiconductor element made from a compound semiconductor. The switch and the radio-frequency circuit are connected by a path. The path includes an inter-member connection wire made of a metal pattern arranged on an interlayer insulating film extending from a surface of the second member to a surface of the first member or a conductive member allowing a current to flow in a direction crossing an interface where the first member and the second member are joined.

Semiconductor device and semiconductor module

A target element to be protected and a protrusion are arranged on a substrate. An insulating film arranged on the substrate covers the target element and at least a side surface of the protrusion. An electrode pad for external connection is arranged on the insulating film. The electrode pad at least partially overlaps the target element and the protrusion as seen in plan view. A maximum distance between the upper surface of the protrusion and the electrode pad in the height direction is shorter than a maximum distance between the upper surface of the target element and the electrode pad in the height direction.

Semiconductor device with protective protrusion

A power amplifier module includes a first substrate and a second substrate, at least part of the second substrate being disposed in a region overlapping the first substrate. The second substrate includes a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. The first substrate includes a first transformer including a primary winding having a first end and a second end and a secondary winding having a first end and a second end; a second transformer including a primary winding having a first end and a second end and a secondary winding having a first end and a second end; and multiple first conductors disposed in a row between the first transformer and the second transformer, each of the multiple first conductors extending from the wiring layer on a first main surface to the wiring layer on a second main surface of the substrate.

Power amplifier module

A semiconductor element includes a semiconductor substrate, first and second amplifiers provided on the semiconductor substrate and adjacently provided in a first direction, a first reference potential bump provided on a main surface of the semiconductor substrate, and connecting the first amplifier and a reference potential, a second reference potential bump provided on the main surface, being adjacent to the first reference potential bump in the first direction, and connecting the second amplifier and a reference potential, and a rectangular bump provided on the main surface, provided between the first and second reference potential bumps in a plan view, and formed such that a second width in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction is larger than a first width in the first direction. The second width is larger than a width of at least one of the first and second reference potential bumps in the second direction.

Semiconductor element and power amplification device

A power amplifier including a first transistor for amplifying and outputting a radio frequency signal, a second transistor, a third transistor for supplying a bias current, a first voltage supply circuit for supplying a lower voltage to a base of the third transistor as a temperature of a first diode is higher. The third transistor and the first transistor, or the third transistor and the second transistor, are disposed without another electronic element interposed therebetween. The third transistor is disposed such that a distance between the third transistor and the first transistor is smaller than a distance between the first voltage supply circuit and the first transistor, or a distance between the third transistor and the second transistor is smaller than a distance between the first voltage supply circuit and the second transistor.
