Abstract
An overlay interconnection technology has been developed for GaAs microwave power FETs, using polyimide as an insulator. An output power of 1017 mW at 4.3 dB gain was achieved at 8 GHz with 27° power added efficiency from a device with a gate width of 1.2 mm. Comparison with devices without overlay interconnection and having a narrower gate width revealed no evidence for degradation in device performance attributable to the interconnection technology.
