A physics-based model of DC and microwave characteristics of GaN/AlGaN HEMTs
A physics-based model of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) is developed for the analysis of DC and microwave characteristics. Large- and small-signal parameters are calculated for a given device dimensions and operating conditions. Spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations at the heterointerface and finite effective width of the 2DEG gas have been incorporated in the analysis. The model predicts a maximum drain current of 523 mA/mm and transconductance of 138 mS/mm for a 1 mu m x 75,um device, which are in agreement with the experimental data. 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
