GaN FET Modeling Tool Main Features

AMCAD Engineering — 2010-05-14T12:52:42Z

AMCAD' original FET model is a measurement-based analytical model developed for the purpose of fitting measured electrical behavior of FETs.
The model equations were developed concurrently with the parameter extraction techniques to ensure the model contains only parameters that are extractable from measured data.The modelling tool is organized in an extraction flow, following the model extraction steps:
- Meas. data management
- Small signal model
- IV model
- Non-linear (...) - GaN FET Modeling / Position 3
