Modeling of temperature effects in a surface-potential based ASM-HEMT model

Abstract

Here, we present the modeling of temperature effects in the surface potential based “Advanced Spice Model for High Electron Mobility Transistor” (ASM-HEMT) for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. We extract the temperature dependencies of mobility, saturation velocity, cut-off voltage and access resistance parameters of this model. This enables accurate modeling of I-V, gm and gds at multiple temperatures. Our model is compared with measured data and shows excellent fitting for a wide range of temperature.
