Abstract

A field-effect transistor according to the present invention includes a source electrode that is formed in an active region, and a drain electrode that is formed in the active region. Further, the field-effect transistor includes a gate electrode that is formed in the active region and disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode, a field plate electrode that is formed in a vicinity of the gate electrode outside a region disposed between the gate electrode and the source electrode, and an FP pad that is included in the FP electrode, the FP pad being formed outside the active region and being grounded.

Claims (23)

1 . A field-effect transistor, comprising:

a source electrode that is formed in an active region;

a drain electrode that is formed in the active region;

a gate electrode that is formed in the active region and disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode;

a field plate electrode that is formed in a vicinity of the gate electrode outside a region disposed between the gate electrode and the source electrode; and

an FP pad that is included in the field plate electrode, the FP pad being formed outside the active region and being grounded.

2 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 1 , wherein

the source electrode is grounded, and

the FP pad is contacted with the source electrode.

3 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 1 , wherein the FP pad is grounded by a via hole or by bonding.

4 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 2 , wherein the FP pad is grounded by a via hole or by bonding.

5 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 1 , wherein

the FP electrode comprises an FP finger, and

the FP pad is formed in each of both ends of the FP finger.

6 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 2 , wherein

the FP electrode comprises an FP finger, and

the FP pad is formed in each of both ends of the FP finger.

7 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 3 , wherein

the FP electrode comprises an FP finger, and

the FP pad is formed in each of both ends of the FP finger.

8 . The field-effect transistor according to claim 4 , wherein

the FP electrode comprises an FP finger, and

the FP pad is formed in each of both ends of the FP finger.
