Extracting a Nonlinear Electro-thermal Model for a GaN HFET

This article describes the procedure used to extract a nonlinear model for a gallium nitride (GaN) power HFET. The source device is a 2 mm gate-width GaN-on-silicon HFET produced by Nitronex Corp., although the procedure can be applied to many other ty...
The development of GaN technology has brought with it the need for accurate nonlinear active device models that can be easily used in standard design tools. A GaN HEMT model should ideally be scalable with gate width and should be able to predict the performance of the device over...
