Abstract

An accurate model for junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) and for Schottky barrier field-effect transistors (MESFETs) with micron and submicron dimensions is presented. The following effects are modeled: distributed channel charge, electrostatic drain feedback, drift velocity saturation, channel length modulation, substrate bias effect, subthreshold region effect, short-length and narrow-width effects, drain-source punch-through, variable capacitance effects, and temperature effects. It is primarily physical rather than empirical and only one set of parameters is needed to simulate devices of a particular technology. The model is intended for silicon devices, but the extension to devices in semiconducting III– V compounds and with insulating substrates is straightforward. The model is compared to experimental data.
