    Abstract: A semiconductor device having enhanced thermal transfer includes at least one die, including a device layer in which one or more functional circuit elements are formed and a substrate supporting the device layer, and a support structure. The die is disposed on the support structure using at least one connection structure coupled between the device layer and the support structure. A back surface of the substrate is textured so as to increase a surface area of the back surface to thereby enhance thermal transfer between the substrate and an external environment.

    Abstract: An integrated front-end module (FEM) includes at least one power amplifier (PA) coupled to an antenna without inclusion of a switching element in a transmit signal path in the FEM between an output of the PA and the antenna. The FEM further includes at least one low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a switching circuit coupled in a receive signal path of the FEM between the antenna and an input of the LNA. The switching circuit is configured in a first mode to disable the PA and to connect the input of the LNA to the antenna for receiving signals from the antenna. The switching circuit is configured in a second mode to disconnect the input of the LNA from the antenna and to enable the PA for transmitting signals to the antenna.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a power semiconductor device includes: forming at least one lateral diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) structure having a first fully silicided gate including a first metal silicide material; and forming at least one complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) structure integrated with the LDMOS structure on a same substrate, the CMOS structure having a second fully silicided gate including a second metal silicide material. The first metal silicide material preferably includes tungsten silicide and the second metal silicide material includes a material other than tungsten silicide.

    Abstract: An RF PA is designed to operate efficiently for average powers when biased at the system supply voltage, and uses an envelope tracking power supply to boost the bias voltage to maintain good efficiency at higher powers. As a result, for a majority of the time when transmitting average power signals, the RF PA bias voltage is the system-wide supply voltage (e.g. 3.4V in cell phones), which eliminates the need for stepping down voltages. The bias voltage is boosted during the less frequent times when higher power is needed. As a result, only a boost type of DC voltage converter is needed. The efficiency of the RF PA is therefore increased because voltage conversion is required less frequently and only when higher power RF signals are transmitted.
