Abstract
In this paper, the current progress and factors limiting the performance of silicon RF Power device technologies are reviewed. Silicon VDMOSFETs have high linearity but the gain is low at frequencies in excess of 1 GHz. LDMOSFETs have higher gain and can operate up to 2.4 GHz. However, the linearity and reliability of LDMOSFETs is poor in comparison to VDMOSFETs. New architectures and evolving trends are discussed.
