Abstract

A semiconductor device having a plated heat sink structure is provided, in which an Au layer (5) high in thermal expansion coefficient is formed on the lower surface of a GaAs substrate (1) having a source electrode (2), a gate electrode (3) and a drain electrode (4) of a field effect transistor on the upper surface, and, a W layer (6) low in thermal expansion coefficient is formed on the lower surface of the Au layer (5). Warping of the device after mounted on a package is reduced on the ground of such a plated heat sink structure.
