    Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes an active element on a first surface of a substrate. A heat-conductive film having a higher thermal conductivity than the substrate is disposed at a position different from a position of the active element. An insulating film covering the active element and heat-conductive film is disposed on the first surface. A bump electrically connected to the heat-conductive film is disposed on the insulating film. A via-hole extends from a second surface opposite to the first surface to the heat-conductive film. A heat-conductive member having a higher thermal conductivity than the substrate is continuously disposed from a region of the second surface overlapping the active element in plan view to an inner surface of the via-hole. The bump is connected to a land of a printed circuit board facing the first surface. The semiconductor chip is sealed with a resin.

    Abstract: A collector layer of an HBT includes a high-concentration collector layer and a low-concentration collector layer thereon. The low-concentration collector layer includes a graded collector layer in which the energy band gap varies to narrow with increasing distance from the base layer. The electron affinity of the semiconductor material for the base layer is greater than that of the semiconductor material for the graded collector layer at the point of the largest energy band gap by about 0.15 eV or less. The electron velocity in the graded collector layer peaks at a certain electric field strength. In the graded collector layer, the strength of the quasi-electric field, an electric field that acts on electrons as a result of the varying energy band gap, is between about 0.3 times and about 1.8 times the peak electric field strength, the electric field strength at which the electron velocity peaks.

    Abstract: A power amplifier module includes a first amplifier circuit that amplifies a radio frequency signal with a first gain corresponding to a first control signal to generate a first amplified signal; a second amplifier circuit that amplifies the first amplified signal with a second gain corresponding to a second control signal to generate a second amplified signal; and a control unit that generates the first control signal and the second control signal. The second control signal is a control signal for increasing a power-supply voltage for the second amplifier circuit as a peak-to-average power ratio of the radio frequency signal increases. The first control signal is a control signal for controlling the first gain of the first amplifier circuit so that a variation in the second gain involved in a variation in the power-supply voltage for the second amplifier circuit is compensated for.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit including a semiconductor element is formed on a substrate. A protection circuit is formed including a plurality of protection diodes that are formed on the substrate and that are connected in series with each other, the protection circuit being connected to an output terminal of the amplifier circuit. A pad conductive layer is formed that at least partially includes a pad for connecting to a circuit outside the substrate. An insulating protective film covers the pad conductive layer. The insulating protective film includes an opening that exposes a partial area of a surface of the pad conductive layer, and that covers another area. A first bump is formed on the pad conductive layer on a bottom surface of the opening, and a second bump at least partially overlaps the protection circuit in plan view and is connected to a ground (GND) potential connected to the amplifier circuit.
