“…(12) should be independent of the frequency; in other words, they should exhibit flat functions of the frequency. The variances of the dominant elements are chosen to express one criterion of the objective function [8]. The dominant elements of the pinch-off circuit model are the capacitive elements.…”
A novel technique is developed for extracting the gate resistance, parasitic inductances, and pad capacitances for metal semiconductor field effect transistor devices. The parameters are extracted from two sets of S-parameter measurements: cold measurements and pinch-off measurements. The proposed technique gives rise to reliable results and it is insensitive to the unavoidable measurement errors over any frequency range. The technique is tested on hypothetical data and applied to S-parameter measurements of a few metal semiconductor field effect transistor devices on the same wafer to provide a unique solution.

“…It is well known that an accurate extraction method for a proper small-signal equivalent circuit is vital for designing a circuit, evaluating the process technology, and optimizing device performance. Several procedures have been proposed [6][7][8][9][10][11] to extract the small signal equivalent circuit parameters of microwave FETs from measured S-parameters. However, due to the high contact resistances in the source and drain region, the standard parameter extraction method for HEMTs cannot be performed directly for GaN-based HEMTs [12].…”
“…Lin and Kompa [3] demonstrated an extraction technique which, by using a bidirectional multiplane search, reduces the dimensions of the optimization problem to improve robustness and efficiency. Shirakawa et al [4] published an extraction technique with some features similar to the method of Lin Fig. 1) while using analytical methods to determine the intrinsic components.…”
A recently proposed optimizer-based parameterextraction technique using adaptive decomposition is subjected to a systematic and rigorous evaluation. The technique is shown to be robust and accurate under varying starting conditions. A study of convergence performance based on decomposition theory and test results is presented. Robustness tests are used to show that commonly used statistical descriptions such as mean and standard deviation are inadequate for presenting these types of test data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
