The invention involves a method of packaging and interconnecting four
power transistor dies to operate at a first frequency without oscillation
at a second frequency higher than the first frequency but lower than a
cutoff frequency of the transistors. The dies are mounted on a substrate
with a lower side (drain) of each die electrically and thermally bonded
to a first area of a conductive layer on the substrate. A source of each
die is electrically connected to a second area of the conductive layer on
the substrate. A gate of each die is electrically connected to a third,
common interior central area of the conductive layer on the substrate via
separate electrical leads. The leads are sized to substantially the same
electrical length and providing a first impedance corresponding to said
electrical length from the common area to each gate that will pass the
first frequency substantially unattenuated and providing a second
impedance from the gate of one die to the gate of a second die that will
substantially attenuate the second frequency. In a first embodiment, the
leads take the form of one or more jumper wires in series with a film
resistor. In a second embodiment, the leads take the form of one or more
meandering striplines having predefined impedance characteristics, and
one or more gate bonding pads connected to their respective gates with
long jumper wires.
