Abstract

This paper presents a Si power LDMOSFET for power amplifiers in the 1.8-2.2GHz frequency range for the base station of personal communication systems. To improve the cut-off frequency, the proposed Si power LDMOSFET has small gate to drain capacitance by shielding the electric fields with extended source electrode and forming the field oxide structure in drain region. The proposed Si power LDMOSFET can be used for a power amplifier and it has 32% of power added efficiency and 39.5dBm of output power when the supply voltage is 28V and the operating frequency is 1.9GHz.
