Extraction of Extrinsic Circuit Parameters of HEMT by Minimizing Residual Errors

Abstract

This study presents a technique for extracting all the extrinsic parameters of HEMTs by minimizing the residual errors between a pinch-off cold-FET's gate and drain pad de-embedded Z-parameters and its modeled Z-parameters calculated by the cold-FET's remaining parameters. The presented technique allows us to successfully extract the remaining extrinsic parameter values as well as the gate and drain pad capacitance value without the additional fabrications of the gate and drain dummy pad.
