Abstract

Abstract A ground layer is provided between a first and a second wiring layer. A first transistor provided at the first wiring layer amplifies a supplied high-frequency signal. A second transistor provided at the first wiring layer amplifies the output signal of the first transistor. A first power supply line, which supplies power to the first transistor, is provided at the first wiring layer. A second power supply line, which supplies power to the second transistor, is provided at the second wiring layer.
