Abstract
A semiconductor package includes a substrate, an RF semiconductor die attached to a first side of the substrate, a capacitor attached to the first side of the substrate, and a first terminal on the first side of the substrate. The semiconductor package further includes copper or aluminum bonding wires or ribbons connecting the first terminal to an output of the RF semiconductor die, and gold bonding wires or ribbons connecting the capacitor to the output of the RF semiconductor die. The gold bonding wires or ribbons are designed to accommodate greater RF Joule heating during operation of the RF semiconductor die than the copper or aluminum bonding wires or ribbons. Corresponding methods of manufacturing are also described.
