Abstract

An electrode lead of a transistor extends beyond other electrode leads of the transistor, is disposed adjacent to the corresponding electrode, and is disposed outside the other electrode leads for heat radiation. A wider part of the electrode lead may have a via hole or a thick metal plating for heat radiation. Further, the electrode is preferably grounded and is connected to an external input terminal to which heat is transferred.
