Abstract
AbstractAn improved method to extract dynamic thermal impedance for power transistor is proposed, and the nonlinear thermal effect is considered. A novel model to characterize transistor dynamic thermal impedance is established. A four‐node R‐L network is attached in model to characterize self‐heating. And the method to extract model parameters is given. A constant m is defined to judge the change of thermal impedance with temperature. Thermal impedance Zth can be solved through rigorous mathematical calculation. This model is validated by using an AlGaN/GaN HEMT device under different measurement conditions, which demonstrates its potential to characterize the complete dynamic self‐heating behaviors for power transistors.
