Abstract
A highly efficient and accurate extraction algorithm for the small-signal equivalent-circuit parameters of a GaN high electron-mobility device is presented. Elements of the extrinsic equivalent-circuit topology are evaluated using a modified cold field-effect transistor approach whereby the undesirable need to forward bias the device's gate terminal is avoided. Intrinsic elements are determined based on a circuit topology, which identifies, for the first time, a time delay in the output conductance of GaN-based devices. The validity of the proposed algorithm has been thoroughly verified with excellent correlation between the measured and modeled S-parameters up to 50 GHz.
