Abstract

A gate-drain shield is used to reduce the gate to drain capacitance of a transistor. The gate-drain shield is formed as a conductor that is positioned on the surface of the transistor between the gate and the drain. The conductor is formed on an insulator thereby electrically insulating the conductor from the substrate of the transistor.
