6. Semiconductor technologies

Semiconductor technology is one of the selection parameters in the design strategy for RF power amplifiers. It concerns both aspects of the definition of active power components: materials (types, assemblies...), and structures (bipolar, FET...). These two aspects are briefly presented below.

6.1 Materials

Table shows the characteristics of semiconductor materials for the most important parameters for RF power applications.
