Abstract
A transistor device includes a semiconductor layer, source and drain contacts on the semiconductor layer, a gate contact on the semiconductor layer between the source and drain contacts, and a field plate over the semiconductor layer between the gate contact and the drain contact. The transistor device includes a first electrical connection between the field plate and the source contact that is outside an active region of the transistor device, and a second electrical connection between the field plate and the source contact.
