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.

Improving Front Side Process Uniformity by Back-Side Metallization

The critical parameters in a plasma process include temperature, gas flow, gas chemistries, pressure, and effective power. Each of these parameters modifies the etching or deposition-process characteristics. This paper demonstrates that overall process uniformity can be enhanced by metalizing the backside of the wafer.

Manufacturing Efficiency Improvement through MBE Recipe Optimization

During the MBE growth process of a pHEMT structure, the growth of buffer layer and superlattice generally take more than 70% of the overall resources and time. Here we focus on the reduction of the MBE growth time by optimizing the buffer and superlattice structures, and discusses the challenges associated with thinning these layers.
