Accurate Scalable Capacitance/Current-Voltage Based Lookup-Table Diode Model

Diodes are used in a variety of designs, such as power detector, and ESD protection circuits. It is highly desirable to have good diode model that can accurately predict bias-dependent Sparameters and harmonics. Standard models fail to predict accurate CV dependence and cannot give the right impedance and nonlinearity.

Multi-device Optimization for Scalable Linear HEMT Model

Scaling rules with unknown coefficients are assumed for each model parameter, which correlated model parameters among different devices. Scalable model can thus be extracted by a multi-device optimization. It is demonstrated with the optimization on nine devices that our approach yields accurate scaling rules for each parameter and very good fitting for each device.
