20080237736SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A technique capable of promoting miniaturization of an RF power module used in a mobile phone etc. is provided. A directional coupler is formed inside a semiconductor chip in which an amplification part of the RF power module is formed. A sub-line of the directional coupler is formed in the same layer as a drain wire coupled to the drain region of an LDMOSFET, which will serve as the amplification part of the semiconductor chip. Due to this, the predetermined drain wire is used as a main line and the directional coupler is configured by a sub-line arranged in parallel to the main line via an insulating film, together with the main line.10-02-2008
20090130996SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - The present invention aims to reduce an exclusively-possessed area of each of bonding wires mounted over a wiring board, for coupling a power amplifying unit of a semiconductor chip and an antenna switch of a second semiconductor chip in a semiconductor device that configures an RF module. In the RF module, the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip are mounted side by side in a central area of the wiring board. The first semiconductor chip is formed with amplifier circuits and a control circuit and comprises a silicon substrate or a compound semiconductor substrate. On the other hand, the second semiconductor chip is formed with an antenna switch and comprises the silicon substrate or compound semiconductor substrate. Pads of the first semiconductor chip and pads of the second semiconductor chip are respectively electrically coupled to one another.
