Improved Characterization and Accurate Modelling of Drain Current Derivatives of InP Based High Electron Mobility Transistors Devices

摘要

InP based HEMTs are of great importance, due to their enormous potential in a high-speed modern microwave circuit, power amplifier, and low noise amplifier applications. Therefore, an accurate non-linear equivalent circuit model of HEMTs is very important for an accurate circuit design. This paper presents improved characterization and accurate modelling of drain current derivatives of InP based HEMTs devices. The proposed model is simple, easy to extract, and suitable for implementation in simulation tools. The psi function is extended to increase the flexibility of the proposed model. A gate-drain dependent current source is added to increase the S-parameter fitting. A one-dimensional intrinsic multi-bias capacitances model is introduced to avoid convergence failure. The fitting results of the I-V characteristics and its high order derivatives show high accuracy. In addition, S-parameters and Pout for the proposed model are compared with the original Angelov model. The proposed model shows better accuracy.
