摘要
For the first time we show an enhanced rf power gain by eliminating the emitter bondwire inductance in emitter plug grounded mounted bipolar transistors. By grounding the emitter with a substrate contact to a low-ohmic substrate, the emitter bondwire is effectively short-circuited. At maximum ouput power, 0.5W with a power added efficiency > 60%, an increase in power gain of 2dB, upto 14.5dB, is observed. For 0.2W output power an increase of 5dB, upto 19dB, is observed.
