Abstract
There is provided a transistor apparatus of the kind in which a gate electrode includes one or more gate fingers that extend laterally across a device area. At least one gate finger is not rectilinear, but instead describes two or more meanders about an average path across the device area. The meanders can be tapered such that a taper amplitude is smallest in a central part of the gate finger and increases toward end portions of the gate finger.
