Abstract

High power transistors, such as high power gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, are described. These high power transistors have larger total gate widths than conventional high power transistors by arranging multiple linear arrays of gate, drain, and source contacts in parallel. Thereby, the total gate width and the power rating of the high power transistor may be increased without elongating the die of the high power transistor. Accordingly, the die of the high power transistor may be mounted in a smaller circuit package relative to conventional dies with the same power rating.
