There is provided by this invention a novel and unique configuration for combining multiple die such as metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETS) in high power high frequency applications to prevent internal oscillation. A first embodiment of this invention comprises a split gate design wherein the gate distribution network for multiple semiconductor devices is split to provide individual gate feeds to each device. A second embodiment provides a plurality of semiconductors devices arranged in a configuration such that the reference terminals are connected together at a common point at the approximate center of the configuration that allows external connections to the semiconductor devices' input and output terminals positioned on the outer periphery of the configuration design.
A configuration for combining multiple semiconductor devices, comprising:
A configuration for combining multiple semiconductor devices as recited in claim 2 wherein the configuration is a packaged device.
A configuration for combining multiple semiconductor devices as recited in claim 3 wherein the reference terminal is not connected to a local ground reference.
A configuration for combining multiple semiconductor devices, comprising:
