Abstract

A transistor arrangement comprising an electrically conductive substrate; a semiconductor body including a transistor structure, the transistor structure including a source terminal connected to said substrate; a bond pad providing a connection to the transistor structure configured to receive a bond wire; wherein the semiconductor body includes an RF-return current path for carrying return current associated with said bond wire, said RF-return current path comprising a strip of metal arranged on said body, said strip configured such that it extends beneath said bond pad and is connected to said source terminal of the transistor structure.
