The first pole of the GaN transistor is connected to the first pole pin. The Si transistor includes a first pole, a second pole, and a control pole; the first pole of the Si transistor is connected to the second pole of the GaN transistor, the second pole of the Si transistor is connected to the control pole and the second pole pin of the GaN transistor. The control pole of the Si transistor includes a plurality of first connection points, and the control pole of the Si transistor is connected to the control pin through the plurality of first connection points.
[0006] In the above common-source common-gate amplifier, the control electrode of the Si transistor includes a plurality of first connection points, and the voltages of the plurality of first connection points are the same. The plurality of first connection points are distributed on the second outer surface, so that the gate voltage at each part of the second outer surface can be made more uniform. Furthermore, the voltages of the electrical signals received by the control electrodes of the plurality of Si transistor cells are more uniform, thereby reducing the voltage drop between the control electrodes of the plurality of Si transistor cells and the first connection points. In this way, the opening degree of the plurality of Si transistor cells can be increased, and further, the leakage current of the Si transistor cells can be reduced, and the heat generated by the Si transistor cells can be reduced, thereby avoiding excessive local temperature of the Si transistor, and further avoiding the failure of the Si transistor, and further improving the problem of the failure of the common-source common-gate amplifier.
[0007] In some embodiments, the Si transistor includes a first outer surface and a second outer surface arranged opposite to each other. The first outer surface faces the substrate. The first pole of the Si transistor is disposed on the first outer surface, and the second pole and the control electrode of the Si transistor are disposed on the second outer surface. Among them, the plurality of first connection points are disposed on the second outer surface and are arranged along the edge of the second pole of the Si transistor.
[0008] With such an arrangement, the distribution of the plurality of first connection points on the second outer surface can be made relatively uniform, thereby reducing the maximum distance between the Si transistor cell and the first connection point, reducing the voltage drop between the Si transistor cell far from the first connection point and the first connection point, increasing the opening degree of the Si transistor cell far from the first connection point, reducing the heat generated by it, and further avoiding excessive temperature of the Si transistor cell, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor cell in the Si transistor, that is, reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor.

[0012] Among them, the first control gate window can provide a platform for setting the first connection point, thereby facilitating the setting of the first connection point and the connection between the first connection point and the control pin.
[0013] In some embodiments, the control gate of the Si transistor further includes a first control gate window, which is disposed on the second outer surface and surrounds the second pole of the Si transistor, and a plurality of first connection points are disposed on the first control gate window.
[0014] Among them, by making the first control gate window surround the second pole of the Si transistor, the area of the first control gate window is relatively large, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position and number of the first connection points.
[0015] In some embodiments, the Si transistor includes a first outer surface and a second outer surface disposed opposite to each other. The first outer surface faces the substrate. The first pole of the Si transistor is disposed on the first outer surface, and the second pole and the control gate of the Si transistor are disposed on the second outer surface. Among them, a plurality of first connection points are disposed on the second outer surface. The plurality of first connection points are divided into a first group of first connection points and a second group of first connection points. The first group of first connection points and the second group of first connection points are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the second pole of the Si transistor.
[0016] Exemplarily, the first group of first connection points and the second group of first connection points are respectively disposed on two sides of the second pole of the Si transistor in the first direction, so as to reduce the width of the Si transistor in the second direction. Among them, the second direction may intersect with the first direction.
[0017] In some embodiments, the control gate of the Si transistor further includes two first control gate windows, which are disposed on the second outer surface and are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the second pole of the Si transistor. The first group of first connection points and the second group of first connection points are respectively disposed on the two first control gate windows.
[0018] Among them, a group of first connection points is disposed on one first control gate window. At this time, the area of the first control gate window is relatively large, and thus the number and spacing of the first connection points disposed on the first control gate window can be designed according to requirements.
[0019] In some embodiments, the two first control gate windows are respectively disposed on two sides of the second pole of the Si transistor in the first direction; the first control gate window is strip-shaped and extends along the second direction, where the second direction intersects with the first direction.
[0020] Among them, since the first control gate window is designed to be strip-shaped, the area of the first control gate window is relatively large, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the number of the first connection points disposed on the first control gate window according to requirements and the distance between two adjacent first connection points.

[0022] By making the first end of the first connecting member include a plurality of first connecting ends, and making the plurality of first connecting ends connected to a plurality of first connecting points respectively, the plurality of first connecting points can have electrical signals with the same voltage.

[0024] The control electrode of the GaN transistor includes a plurality of second connection points, and the plurality of second connection points are all connected to the second electrode of the Si transistor, so the voltages of the plurality of second connection points are the same. The plurality of second connection points are distributed on the first surface, so that the gate voltages at various locations on the first surface can be more uniform, and thus the voltages of the electrical signals received by the control electrodes of the plurality of GaN transistor cells can be more uniform, so that the voltage drop between the control electrodes of the plurality of GaN transistor cells and the second connection points can be reduced, so that the opening degree of the plurality of GaN transistor cells can be increased, so that the leakage current of the GaN transistor cells can be reduced, and the heat generated by the GaN transistor cells can be reduced, so that the temperature at various locations on the first surface of the GaN transistor can be more uniform, so that the heat transferred from the GaN transistor to the Si transistor can be reduced, so that the local temperature of the Si transistor can be avoided from being too high, so that the Si transistor can be avoided from failing, and so that the problem of failure of the common-source common-gate amplifier can be improved.
[0025] In some embodiments, a plurality of second connection points are disposed along an edge of the Si transistor.
[0026] Among them, multiple second connection points are arranged along the edge of the Si transistor, which can make the distribution of the multiple second connection points on the first surface relatively uniform, thereby reducing the maximum distance between the GaN transistor cell and the second connection point, increasing the voltage drop between the GaN transistor cell far from the second connection point and the second connection point, increasing the opening degree of the GaN transistor cell far from the second connection point, thereby reducing the heat generated by the GaN transistor cell far from the second connection point, and further avoiding local overheating of the GaN transistor. Further, it is possible to reduce the excessive heat received by the local part of the Si transistor from the GaN transistor. In this way, the heat received by the Si transistor cells in the local part of the Si transistor can be reduced, and further the risk of the Si transistor cells having too high a temperature can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor cells in the Si transistor, that is, reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor.
[0027] In some embodiments, the multiple second connection points are arranged at equal intervals along the edge of the Si transistor.
[0028] With such an arrangement, the distribution of the multiple second connection points on the first surface can be made more uniform, further improving the voltage uniformity of the control electrodes of the multiple GaN transistor cells and the uniformity of the opening degrees of the multiple GaN transistor cells, thereby avoiding overheating of the GaN transistor cells in the local part, reducing the heat received by the Si transistor, and thus reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor.
[0029] In some embodiments, the control electrode of the GaN transistor further includes multiple second control electrode windows, the multiple second control electrode windows are arranged on the first surface and along the edge of the Si transistor, and at least one second connection point is arranged on one second control electrode window.
[0030] Among them, the second control electrode window can provide a platform for the setting of the second connection point, thereby facilitating the setting of the second connection point and the connection of the second connection point to the second pole of the Si transistor.
[0031] In some embodiments, the control electrode of the GaN transistor further includes a second control electrode window, the second control electrode window is arranged on the first surface and surrounds the Si transistor, and multiple second connection points are arranged on the second control electrode window.

[0033] In some embodiments, the multiple second connection points are divided into a first group of second connection points and a second group of second connection points, and the first group of second connection points and the second group of second connection points are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the Si transistor.
[0034] Among them, the multiple second connection points are divided into two groups, and the first group of second connection points and the second group of second connection points are respectively disposed on both sides of the Si transistor. Further, the second connection points can avoid the Si transistor, thereby preventing the second connection points from affecting the installation of the Si transistor and facilitating the connection of the second connection points to the second pole of the Si transistor.
[0035] In some embodiments, the control electrode of the GaN transistor further includes two second control electrode windows, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the Si transistor, and the first group of second connection points and the second group of second connection points are respectively disposed on the two second control electrode windows.
[0036] Among them, a group of second connection points is disposed on one second control electrode window. At this time, the area of the second control electrode window is relatively large, and thus the number of second connection points disposed on the first control electrode window can be designed according to requirements.
[0037] In some embodiments, the two second control electrode windows are respectively disposed on both sides of the Si transistor in the third direction. The second control electrode window is strip-shaped and extends along the fourth direction, where the fourth direction intersects the third direction.
[0038] Among them, by disposing the two second control electrode windows on both sides of the Si transistor in the third direction, the width of the Si transistor in the fourth direction can be reduced. In addition, since the second control electrode window is strip-shaped, the area of the second control electrode window is relatively large at this time. Therefore, the number of second connection points disposed on the second control window and the distance between two adjacent second connection points can be designed according to requirements.

The control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 can be wire-bonded to the control pin 500.
[0093] Among them, by disposing the GaN transistor 100 and the Si transistor 200 on the plate 710, the contact between the GaN transistor 100 and the Si transistor 200 can be avoided, so that the heat transferred from the GaN transistor 100 to the Si transistor 200 can be reduced, and the risk of failure of the Si transistor 200 can be lowered.
[0094] Exemplarily, the above GaN transistor 100 can be a GaN (gallium nitride) HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor), and the GaN HEMT is a high-voltage depletion-type transistor. The Si transistor 200 can be a Si (silicon) MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), and the Si MOSFET is a low-voltage enhancement-type transistor.
[0095] Exemplarily, the first pole D1 of the GaN transistor 100 can be the drain, the second pole S1 of the GaN transistor 100 can be the source, and the control pole G1 of the GaN transistor 100 can be the gate electrode.
[0096] Exemplarily, the first pole D2 of the Si transistor 200 can be the drain, the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 can be the source, and the control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 can be the gate electrode.
[0097] Wherein, the gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 can be connected to the control pin 500, and the driving chip 3000 (as Figure 2 shown) can apply a gate voltage to the gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 through the control pin 500 to control the on / off of the Si transistor 200.
[0098] The second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 can be connected to the second pole pin 400. Therefore, the voltage of the second pole pin 400 is equal to the voltage of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. Also, since the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 is further connected to the gate G1 of the GaN transistor 100, the voltage of the second pole pin 400, the voltage of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200, and the voltage of the gate G1 of the GaN transistor 100 are equal.
[0099] When no gate voltage is applied to the gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 and the drain-source voltage is greater than zero, it operates in the forward blocking mode; when the gate voltage of the gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 is greater than the threshold voltage of the Si transistor 200, the cascode amplifier 1000 conducts forward; once the Si transistor 200 conducts reversely, the cascode amplifier 1000 will operate in the reverse conduction mode. Also, since the voltage of the first pole D2 of the Si transistor 200 is equal to the voltage of the second pole S1 of the GaN transistor 100, and the voltage of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 is equal to the voltage of the gate G1 of the GaN transistor 100, the drain-source voltage of the Si transistor 200 provides a negative bias voltage for the gate-source voltage of the GaN transistor 100. Furthermore, controlling the on / off of the Si transistor 200 can control the on / off of the GaN transistor 100. In summary, the cascode amplifier 1000 can be turned off when receiving a low level at the control pin 500 and turned on when receiving a high level through the cascaded GaN transistor 100 and Si transistor 200.
[0100] Figure 6 It is a schematic structural diagram of multiple Si transistor cells 250 in the Si transistor 200.
[0101] Please refer toFigure 6 , the Si transistor 200 may include a plurality of Si transistor cells 250. The plurality of Si transistor cells 250 are arranged in an array and are in parallel. Specifically, the Si transistor cell 250 may include a first pole, a second pole 252, and a control pole 253. Among them, the first pole of the Si transistor cell 250 is close to the first outer surface 210, and the second pole 252 and the control pole 253 of the Si transistor cell 250 are close to the second outer surface 220. The first poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 are connected and are connected to the first pole D2 of the Si transistor 200. The second poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 are connected and are connected to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. The control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 are connected and are connected to the control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0102] The control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 may receive an electrical signal through the first connection point 230, and this electrical signal may be transmitted to the control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 through the first connection point 230, so as to control the conduction of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250. Among them, there is a voltage drop between the control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250. The voltage drop between the control pole of the Si transistor cell 250 farther from the first connection point 230 and the first connection point 230 is greater. The higher the voltage of the electrical signal received by the control pole of the Si transistor cell 250, the higher the opening degree of the Si transistor cell 250, and the lower the voltage of the electrical signal received by the control pole of the Si transistor cell 250, the lower the opening degree of the Si transistor cell 250. And the lower the opening degree of the Si transistor cell 250, the greater the leakage current of the Si transistor cell 250, the more heat generated by the Si transistor cell 250, and the higher the temperature, the Si transistor cell 250 is prone to failure, resulting in the failure of the Si transistor 200, and further resulting in the failure of the cascode amplifier 1000.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 includes a plurality of first connection points 230, and the voltages of the plurality of first connection points 230 are the same. The control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 can be connected to the plurality of first connection points 230. Furthermore, the voltages of the electrical signals received by the control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 are more uniform, so as to reduce the voltage drop between the control poles of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 and the first connection point 230. In this way, the opening degree of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 can be increased, and further the leakage current of the Si transistor cell 250 can be reduced, and the heat generated by the Si transistor cell 250 can be reduced, so as to avoid the local temperature of the Si transistor 200 being too high, and further avoid the failure of the Si transistor 200, and further improve the problem of the failure of the cascode amplifier 1000.
[0104] Exemplarily, the number of the first connection points 230 may be two, three, four, five or more.
[0105] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of an Si transistor according to some embodiments.
[0106] Please refer to Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the Si transistor 200 includes a first outer surface 210 and a second outer surface 220 arranged opposite to each other. The first outer surface 210 faces the substrate 700. The first pole D2 of the Si transistor 200 is disposed on the first outer surface 210, and the second pole S2 and the control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 are disposed on the second outer surface 220.
[0107] Among them, a plurality of first connection points 230 are disposed on the second outer surface 220, and the plurality of first connection points 230 are arranged along the edge of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0108] Please refer to Figure 7 , and in combination with Figure 3 , exemplarily, the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 may include a second source window 261 and a third connection point 262. Among them, the third connection point 262 may be disposed on the second source window 261, and the third connection point 262 may be connected to the control pole G1 of the GaN transistor 100. For example, the second source window 261 may be a pad.
[0109] Among them, the second source window 261 is disposed on the second outer surface 220 of the Si transistor 200, and the second source window 261 is connected to the second poles of a plurality of Si transistor cells 250. Among them, the shape of the second source window 261 may be quadrilateral or circular. In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the second source window 261 is not limited.
[0110] Among them, the edge of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 may be the edge of the second source window 261. At this time, the plurality of first connection points 230 are arranged along the edge of the second source window 261.
[0111] Among them, a plurality of first connection points 230 are arranged along the edge of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200, which can make the distribution of the plurality of first connection points 230 on the second outer surface 220 relatively uniform, thereby reducing the maximum distance between the Si transistor cell 250 and the first connection point 230, reducing the voltage drop between the Si transistor cell 250 far from the first connection point 230 and the first connection point 230, increasing the opening degree of the Si transistor cell 250 far from the first connection point 230, reducing the heat generated by it, and further avoiding the overheating of the Si transistor cell 250, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor cell 250 in the Si transistor 200, that is, reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor 200.
[0112] In some examples, the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 can be rectangular or square, and the number of the first connection points 230 can be 4, and the 4 first connection points 230 can be respectively arranged corresponding to the corners of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. In addition, the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 can be circular or elliptical. In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 is not limited.
[0113] In some embodiments, the plurality of first connection points 230 are arranged at equal intervals along the edge of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. Among them, "equal intervals" means that the distance between any two adjacent first connection points 230 is equal.
[0114] With such an arrangement, the distribution of the plurality of first connection points 230 on the second outer surface 220 can be made more uniform, further improving the voltage uniformity of the control electrodes of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250 and the uniformity of the opening degrees of the plurality of Si transistor cells 250, and further avoiding the overheating of the Si transistor cells 250 in a local area, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor 200.
[0115] Figure 8 FIG. is another schematic structural diagram of the Si transistor 200 according to some embodiments.
[0116] Please refer to Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the control electrode G2 of the Si transistor 200 may further include a plurality of first control electrode windows 240, the plurality of first control electrode windows 240 are arranged on the second outer surface 220 and along the edge of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor, and at least one first connection point 230 is arranged on one first control electrode window 240.
[0117] Exemplarily, the first control electrode window 240 can be a pad.
[0118] Exemplarily, the first control gate window 240 is connected to the control gates of multiple Si transistor cells 250. Among them, one or more first connection points 230 may be provided on one first control gate window 240. In Figure 8 one example, one first connection point 230 is provided on one first control gate window 240. In other examples, multiple first connection points 230 may be provided on one first control gate window 240. In some other examples, the number of first connection points 230 provided on at least part of the first control gate windows 240 is different. For example, the Si transistor 200 further includes multiple first control gate windows 240, one first connection point 230 is provided on part of the first control gate windows 240, and multiple first connection points 230 are provided on another part of the first control gate windows 240.
[0119] The first control gate window 240 can be connected to the control gates of multiple Si transistor cells 250. Therefore, the first connection point 230 provided on the first control gate window 240 can be electrically connected to the control gate of the Si transistor cell 250.
[0120] The first control gate window 240 can provide a platform for the setting of the first connection point 230, thereby facilitating the setting of the first connection point 230 and facilitating the connection between the first connection point 230 and the control pin 500.
[0121] Figure 9 FIG. is a further structural schematic diagram of the Si transistor 200 according to some embodiments.
[0122] Please refer to Figure 9 , in some other embodiments, the control gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 may further include a first control gate window 240, the first control gate window 240 is provided on the second outer surface 220 and surrounds the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200, and multiple first connection points 230 are provided on the first control gate window 240.
[0123] Exemplarily, the first control gate window 240 may surround the second source window 261.
[0124] In some examples, the first control gate window 240 may be annular. In other examples, an opening may also be provided on the first control gate window 240. At this time, the extension trajectory of the first control gate window 240 is not a closed figure.
[0125] Among them, by making the first control gate window 240 surround the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200, the area of the first control gate window 240 is larger, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position and number of the first connection points 230.
[0126] Figure 10Another structural schematic diagram of the Si transistor 200 according to some embodiments.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, a plurality of first connection points 230 are disposed on the second outer surface 220. The plurality of first connection points 230 are divided into a first group of first connection points 230X and a second group of first connection points 230Y. The first group of first connection points 230X and the second group of first connection points 230Y are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0128] In Figure 10 , taking the first group of first connection points 230X including 3 first connection points 230 as an example, the embodiments of the present application are illustrated. Of course, the number of first connection points 230 in the first group of first connection points 230X is not limited to 3, and may also be 1, 2, 4, 5, and more.
[0129] Exemplarily, the first group of first connection points 230X and the second group of first connection points 230Y are respectively disposed on both sides of the second source window 261.
[0130] Exemplarily, the first group of first connection points 230X and the second group of first connection points 230Y are respectively disposed on both sides of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 in the first direction F1, so as to reduce the width of the Si transistor 200 in the second direction F2. Wherein, the second direction F2 may intersect with the first direction F1.
[0131] Exemplarily, the arrangement direction of the plurality of first connection points 230 in the first group of first connection points 230X is the same as the arrangement direction of the plurality of first connection points 230 in the second group of first connection points 230Y. Of course, their arrangement directions may also be different.
[0132] Please refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the control pole G2 of the Si transistor 200 may further include two first control pole windows 240. The two first control pole windows 240 are disposed on the second outer surface 220 and are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. The first group of first connection points 230X and the second group of first connection points 230Y are respectively disposed on the two first control pole windows 240. Wherein, a group of first connection points is disposed on one first control pole window 240. At this time, the area of the first control pole window 240 is relatively large, and thus the number and spacing of the first connection points 230 disposed on the first control pole window 240 can be designed according to requirements.
[0133] Please refer to Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the two first control pole windows 240 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 in the first direction F1.
[0134] The first control gate window 240 is bar-shaped and extends along a second direction F2, where the second direction F2 intersects the first direction F1.
[0135] In some examples, when each group of first connection points includes multiple first connection points 230, the multiple first connection points 230 in a group of first connection points may be arranged in sequence along the second direction F2.
[0136] Wherein, the first control gate window 240 is designed to be bar-shaped. Therefore, the area of the first control gate window 240 is relatively large, facilitating adjusting the number of first connection points 230 provided on the first control gate window 240 and the distance between two adjacent first connection points 230 according to requirements.
[0137] In addition, by setting the first control gate window 240 to be bar-shaped and extending along the second direction F2, the space occupied by the first control gate window 240 in the first direction F1 can be reduced, facilitating reducing the size of the Si transistor 200 in the first direction F1.
[0138] Exemplarily, the second direction F2 and the first direction F1 may be perpendicularly arranged. With such an arrangement, the span of the first control gate window 240 in the first direction F1 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the width of the Si transistor 200 in the first direction F1, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the Si transistor 200. Herein, the span of the first control gate window 240 in the first direction F1 refers to the distance between the two ends of the first control gate window 240 in the second direction F2 along the first direction F1.
[0139] In some examples, the extending directions of two first control gate windows 240 may be the same. Of course, the extending directions of two first control gate windows 240 may also be different.
[0140] The multiple first connection points 230 in the first group of first connection points 230X may be arranged along the second direction F2. The multiple first connection points 230 in the second group of first connection points 230Y may be arranged along the second direction F2.
[0141] Figure 11 It is a planar schematic diagram of a cascode amplifier according to some embodiments.
[0142] Please refer to Figure 11 , in some examples, the control gate G2 of the Si transistor 200 may further include a first control gate window 240. The first control gate window 240 is disposed on the second outer surface 220, the first control gate window 240 is bar-shaped, and is located on the side of the source S2 of the Si transistor 200 close to the control pin 500. Multiple first connection points 230 are disposed on the first control gate window 240.
[0143] With such a setting, the distance between the first control electrode window 240 and the control pin 500 is relatively close. When the first control electrode window 240 and the control pin 500 are connected by the first connecting member 900, the length of the first connecting member 900 can be reduced, and the parasitic capacitance and parasitic resistance of the link can be reduced.
[0144] Figure 12 Another planar schematic diagram of the cascode amplifier 1000 according to some embodiments. Figure 13 Another planar schematic diagram of the cascode amplifier 1000 according to some embodiments.
[0145] Please Figure 12 and Figure 13 and, in combination with Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cascode amplifier 1000 further includes: a first connecting member 900. The first connecting member 900 includes a first end 910 and a second end 920 that are connected. The first end 910 includes a plurality of first connection ends 911, and the plurality of first connection ends 911 are respectively connected to a plurality of first connection points 230, and the second end 920 is connected to the control pin 500.
[0146] Among them, the position in the first control electrode window 240 for connecting to the first connection end 911 can be used as the first connection point 230.
[0147] The plurality of first connection ends 911 are all connected to the second end 920. The second end 920 can obtain an electrical signal from the first control electrode window 240 and transmit it to the plurality of first connection ends 911. Therefore, the voltages of the plurality of first connection ends 911 are the same, and the plurality of first connection ends 911 are respectively connected to the plurality of first connection points 230, so that the plurality of first connection points 230 can have electrical signals with the same voltage.
[0148] In some examples, the second end 920 may include a plurality of fourth connection ends 921. The plurality of fourth connection ends 921 are all connected to the control pin 500, and the plurality of fourth connection ends 921 are respectively connected to different positions of the control pin 500. Among them, the second end 920 and the first end 910 are electrically connected. Therefore, the fourth connection end 921 and the first connection end 911 are electrically connected. For example, the plurality of first connection ends 911 and the plurality of fourth connection ends 921 are connected in one-to-one correspondence.
[0149] In some examples, the first connector 900 may include a plurality of second connection lines 930. One end of each second connection line 930 is connected to a first connection point 230, and the other end of each second connection line 930 is connected to a control pin 500. Wherein, the end of the second connection line 930 connected to the first connection point 230 may serve as the first connection end 911, and the end of the second connection line 930 connected to the control pin 500 may serve as the fourth connection end 921.
[0150] Wherein, a first connection point 230 can be connected to a control pin 500 through a second connection line 930, so that the shortest length of the second connection line 930 can be designed according to the distance between the first connection point 230 and the control pin 500, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance and parasitic resistance of the link and reducing the loss of electrical signals.
[0151] In other examples, the first connector 900 may include a first adapter board, a plurality of first jumper wires, and a second jumper wire. Wherein, one end of each of the plurality of first jumper wires is connected to the first adapter board, and the other ends of the plurality of first jumper wires are respectively connected to a plurality of first connection points 230. Wherein, the end of the first jumper wire connected to the first connection point 230 may serve as the first connection end 911. And one end of the second jumper wire is connected to the first adapter board, and the other end is connected to the control pin 500. Wherein, the end of the second jumper wire connected to the control pin 500 may serve as the second end 920. Wherein, the first jumper wire and the second jumper wire can be electrically connected through the first adapter board.
[0152] Wherein, by providing the first adapter board, a plurality of first jumper wires can converge to the first adapter board, and the second jumper wire can also be connected to the first adapter board, so that the first adapter board can fix the first jumper wire and the second jumper wire to avoid messy wiring.
[0153] In addition, in the case where the second end 920 includes a plurality of fourth connection ends, the number of second jumper wires can be multiple. At this time, one end of the second jumper wire is connected to the first adapter board, and the other end is connected to the control pin 500. Wherein, the end of the second jumper wire connected to the control pin 500 may serve as the fourth connection end 921.
[0154] Figure 14 Schematic diagram of the structure of a GaN transistor according to some embodiments.
[0155] Please refer to Figure 14 and in combination with Figure 3 , in some embodiments, when the Si transistor 200 is disposed on the first surface 110, the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 includes a plurality of second connection points 120. The plurality of second connection points 120 are disposed on the first surface and are connected to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0156] Among them, the GaN transistor 100 may include a plurality of GaN transistor cells, which are arranged in an array and connected in parallel. Specifically, the GaN transistor cell may include a first pole, a second pole, and a control pole. Among them, the first poles of the plurality of GaN transistor cells are connected and connected to the first pole D1 of the GaN transistor 100. The second poles of the plurality of GaN transistor cells are connected and connected to the second pole S1 of the GaN transistor 100. The control poles of the plurality of GaN transistor cells are connected and connected to the control pole G1 of the GaN transistor.
[0157] The control pole G1 of the GaN transistor 100 can receive an electrical signal through the second connection point 120, and this electrical signal can be transmitted through the second connection point 120 to the control poles of the plurality of GaN transistor cells to control the conduction of the plurality of GaN transistor cells. Among them, there is a voltage drop between the control poles of the plurality of GaN transistor cells, and the voltage drop between the control pole of the GaN transistor cell farther away from the second connection point 120 and the second connection point 120 is greater. The higher the voltage of the electrical signal received by the control pole of the GaN transistor cell, the higher the opening degree of the GaN transistor cell, and the lower the voltage of the electrical signal received by the control pole of the GaN transistor cell, the lower the opening degree of the GaN transistor cell. And the lower the opening degree of the GaN transistor cell, the greater the leakage current of the GaN transistor cell, and the more heat generated by the GaN transistor cell, resulting in a higher temperature at the position of the GaN transistor 100 corresponding to the GaN transistor cell, that is, it will cause the local temperature of the GaN transistor 100 to rise.
[0158] When the Si transistor 200 is located on the side of the GaN transistor 100 away from the substrate 700, the heat of the GaN transistor 100 can be transferred to the Si transistor 200. If the local temperature of the GaN transistor 100 is too high, the higher the temperature transferred from the GaN transistor 100 to the Si transistor 200. Due to the poor heat resistance of the Si transistor 200, it will further cause the Si transistor 200 to fail, resulting in the failure of the cascode amplifier 1000.
[0159] In an embodiment of the present application, the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 includes a plurality of second connection points 120, and the plurality of second connection points 120 are all connected to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200. Therefore, the voltages of the plurality of second connection points 120 are the same. By making the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 include a plurality of second connection points 120, the gate voltage at each part of the first surface 110 can be made more uniform. Furthermore, the voltages of the electrical signals received by the control electrodes of the plurality of GaN transistor cells are more uniform, thereby reducing the voltage drop between the control electrodes of the plurality of GaN transistor cells and the second connection points 120. In this way, the opening degree of the plurality of GaN transistor cells can be increased, and further the leakage current of the GaN transistor cells can be reduced, and the heat generated by the GaN transistor cells can be reduced, so that the temperature at each part of the GaN transistor 100 can be made more uniform, thereby reducing the heat transferred from the GaN transistor 100 to the Si transistor 200, and thus avoiding the local temperature of the Si transistor 200 from being too high, and further avoiding the failure of the Si transistor 200, and further improving the problem of the failure of the cascode amplifier 1000.
[0160] Figure 15 FIG. is another schematic structural diagram of the GaN transistor 100 according to some embodiments. Among them, in Figure 15 FIG., the dashed box indicated by A1 is the area on the first surface 110 for mounting the Si transistor 200.
[0161] Please refer to Figure 15 FIG., and in combination with Figure 13 FIG., in some embodiments, the plurality of second connection points 120 are arranged along the edge of the Si transistor 200. In Figure 15 FIG., taking the number of the second connection points 120 as 10 as an example, the embodiments of the present application are illustrated. The number of the second connection points 120 is not limited. For example, the number of the second connection points 120 can be 2, 3, 4, 5 or more.
[0162] Among them, the second pole S1 of the GaN transistor 100 is located within the area covered by the Si transistor 200. In the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the plurality of second connection points 120 along the edge of the Si transistor 200, the second connection points 120 can avoid the second pole S1 of the GaN transistor 100 and the Si transistor 200, thereby avoiding the second connection points 120 from affecting the installation of the Si transistor 200.
[0163] In addition, multiple second connection points 120 are arranged along the edge of the Si transistor 200, which can make the distribution of the multiple second connection points 120 on the first surface 110 relatively uniform, thereby reducing the maximum distance between the GaN transistor cells and the second connection points 120, increasing the voltage drop between the GaN transistor cells farther from the second connection points 120 and the second connection points, increasing the opening degree of the GaN transistor cells farther from the second connection points 120, thereby reducing the heat generated by the GaN transistor cells farther from the second connection points 120, and further avoiding local overheating of the GaN transistor 100. Further, the local heat received by the Si transistor 200 from the GaN transistor 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat received by the Si transistor cells 250 in the local area of the Si transistor 200, further avoiding overheating of the Si transistor cells 250, and thus reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor cells 250 in the Si transistor 200, that is, reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor 200.
[0164] In some embodiments, the multiple second connection points 120 are arranged at equal intervals along the edge of the Si transistor 200. Herein, "equal intervals" means that the distance between any two adjacent second connection points 120 can be equal.
[0165] With such an arrangement, the distribution of the multiple second connection points 120 on the first surface 110 can be made more uniform, further improving the voltage uniformity of the control electrodes of the multiple GaN transistor cells, improving the uniformity of the opening degrees of the multiple GaN transistor cells, and further avoiding overheating of the GaN transistor cells in the local area, reducing the heat received by the Si transistor 200, and thus reducing the risk of failure of the Si transistor 200.

The multiple second control electrode windows 130 are arranged on the first surface 110 and along the edge of the Si transistor 200, and at least one second connection point 120 is arranged on one second control electrode window 130.
[0167] Exemplarily, the second control electrode window 130 may be a pad.
[0168] Among them, one or more second connection points 120 may be arranged on one second control electrode window 130. In Figure 15 , one second connection point 120 is arranged on one second control electrode window 130. In some other examples, please refer to Figure 3, multiple second connection points 120 may be provided on a second control electrode window 130. Additionally, in some other examples, one second connection point 120 is provided on a part of the second control electrode window 130, while multiple second connection points 120 are provided on the remaining part of the second control electrode window 130.
[0169] The second control electrode window 130 may be connected to the control electrodes of multiple GaN transistor cells. Therefore, the second connection points 120 provided on the second control electrode window 130 may be electrically connected to the control electrodes of the GaN transistor cells.
[0170] The second control electrode window 130 may provide a platform for the arrangement of the second connection points 120, facilitating the connection of the second connection points 120 to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0171] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the Si transistor 200 on the second outer surface 220 is approximately rectangular, and the number of the second connection points 120 may be four. The four second connection points 120 may be respectively arranged at the four corners of the rectangular projection of the Si transistor 200 on the second outer surface 220. Of course, the four second connection points 120 may also be arranged at other positions of the rectangular orthographic projection of the Si transistor 200, which will not be enumerated one by one here.

[0173] Please refer to Figure 16 , in some other embodiments, the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 may further include a second control electrode window 130, which is provided on the first surface 110 and surrounds the Si transistor 200, and multiple second connection points 120 are provided on the second control electrode window 130.
[0174] In some examples, the second control electrode window 130 is annular.
[0175] In some other examples, an opening may be provided on the second control electrode window 130. At this time, the extending trajectory of the second control electrode window 130 may not be a closed figure.
[0176] By arranging the second control electrode window 130 to surround the Si transistor 200, the area of the second control electrode window 130 can be increased, and thus a larger platform can be provided for the arrangement of the second connection points 120, facilitating the adjustment of the positions and the number of the second connection points 120.
[0177] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 14, in some embodiments, the multiple second connection points 120 are divided into a first group of second connection points 120X and a second group of second connection points 120Y, and the first group of second connection points 120X and the second group of second connection points 120Y are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the Si transistor 200.
[0178] In Figure 3 and Figure 14 , taking the first group of second connection points 120X including two second connection points 120 as an example, the embodiments of the present application are illustrated. Of course, the number of second connection points 120 in the first group of second connection points 120X is not limited to two, and may also be 1, 3, 4, 5 or more.
[0179] In Figure 3 and Figure 14 , taking the second group of second connection points 120Y including two second connection points 120 as an example, the embodiments of the present application are illustrated. Of course, the number of second connection points 120 in the first group of second connection points 120X is not limited to two, and may also be 1, 3, 4, 5 or more.
[0180] Among them, the multiple second connection points 120 are divided into two groups, and the first group of second connection points 120X and the second group of second connection points 120Y are respectively arranged on both sides of the Si transistor 200. Furthermore, the second connection points 120 can avoid the Si transistor 200, thereby preventing the second connection points 120 from affecting the installation of the Si transistor 200 and facilitating the connection of the second connection points 120 to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.
[0181] Exemplarily, the arrangement direction of the multiple second connection points 120 in the first group of second connection points 120X is the same as the arrangement direction of the multiple second connection points 120 in the second group of second connection points 120Y. Of course, their arrangement directions may also be different.
[0182] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 14 , in some embodiments, the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 may further include two second control electrode windows 130, and the two second control electrode windows 130 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the Si transistor 200, and the first group of second connection points 120X and the second group of second connection points 120Y are respectively arranged on the two second control electrode windows 130.
[0183] Among them, a group of second connection points is arranged on one second control electrode window 130. At this time, the area of the second control electrode window 130 is relatively large, and thus the number of second connection points 120 arranged on the second control electrode window 130 can be designed according to requirements.
[0184] Please refer to Figure 14, in some embodiments, two second control gate windows 130 are respectively disposed on both sides of the Si transistor 200 in the third direction F3. The second control gate windows 130 are strip-shaped and extend along the fourth direction F4, wherein the fourth direction F4 intersects with the third direction F3.
[0185] Wherein, by disposing two second control gate windows 130 on both sides of the Si transistor 200 in the third direction F3, the width of the Si transistor 200 in the fourth direction F4 can be reduced. The second control gate windows 130 are strip-shaped. At this time, the area of the second control gate windows 130 is relatively large. Therefore, the number of second connection points 120 disposed on the second control gate windows 130 and the distance between two adjacent second connection points 120 can be designed according to requirements.
[0186] Exemplarily, the fourth direction F4 and the third direction F3 can be perpendicularly disposed. With such a setting, the span of the second control gate windows 130 in the third direction F3 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the width of the GaN transistor 100 in the third direction F3, and further beneficial to the miniaturization of the GaN transistor 100. The span of the second control gate windows 130 in the third direction F3 refers to the distance between the two ends of the second control gate windows 130 in the fourth direction F4 along the third direction F3.
[0187] Exemplarily, the extending directions of the two second control gate windows 130 can be the same. Of course, the extending directions of the two second control gate windows 130 can also be different.

A plurality of second connection points 120 in the second group of second connection points 120Y can be arranged in sequence along the fourth direction F4.
[0189] By setting the second control gate windows 130 to be strip-shaped and extending along the fourth direction F4, the space occupied by the plurality of second connection points 120 in the third direction F3 can be reduced, so as to facilitate reducing the size of the GaN transistor 100 in the third direction F3.

[0192] Multiple second connection terminals 811 are all connected to the fourth terminal 820. Therefore, the voltages of the multiple second connection terminals 811 are the same. The second connection terminals 811 are connected to multiple second connection points 120, so that the voltages of the multiple second connection points 120 are the same.
[0193] Exemplarily, the substrate 700 may further include a second pole transfer pin. The second pole transfer pin is disposed on the board 710.

In addition, the control electrode G1 of the GaN transistor 100 is also connected to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200.

[0196] One second connection point 120 can be connected to the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200 through a first connection line 830. Thus, the shortest length of the first connection line 830 can be designed according to the distance between the second connection point 120 and the second pole S2 of the Si transistor 200, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance and parasitic resistance of the link and reducing the loss of the electrical signal.

[0198] Wherein, by providing the second adapter board, the plurality of third patch cords can converge to the second adapter board, and the fourth patch cord can also be connected to the second adapter board, so that the second adapter board can fix the third patch cord and the geothermal patch cord, avoiding messy wiring.
