[Abstract]:Gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), with its high frequency, high power, high efficiency and so on, has become a hot spot (or nonlinear) characteristic and model of.GaN HEMT, a hot spot in the field of semiconductor devices both at home and abroad in recent years, to optimize the process and structure of the device, guide the circuit design and improve the performance of the circuit. The traditional Si and GaAs based field effect transistor models and their modeling methods are difficult to accurately characterize some special physical properties of GaN HEMT devices, such as traps, heat, harmonic and ambient temperature. Accurate microwave millimeter wave GaN HEMT large signal model is used to improve the performance of devices and shorten the development week of circuits and systems. It is of great significance to improve the rate of finished products, reduce the cost and promote its large-scale system integration and application. With the further reduction of the feature size of GaN HEMT devices, the improvement of the working frequency and output power, and the further demand for the product rate of the circuit design, the research on the modeling of the microwave millimeter wave GaN HEMT is carried out to G The development of aN devices and circuits is of great significance. Therefore, this paper systematically studies the modeling technology of microwave millimeter wave GaN HEMT large signal model based on the mechanism of domestic GaN HEMT technology and the method of empirical based equivalent circuit modeling. The main research contents include: 1. ultra wideband GaN HEMT small signal equivalent circuit model research In view of the parasitism of the microwave millimeter wave GaN HEMT device, on the basis of the traditional transistor small signal equivalent circuit model topology, the gate leakage parasitic resistance Rpgd and the T type parasitic inductance of the gate and the leakage extremes are added. The improved broadband equivalent circuit model structure is established, and the small signal S parameter in the low frequency and the high-end range is improved. On the basis of the direct extraction of model element parameters, a parameter optimization method based on the bias dependent multi-dimensional objective error function is adopted to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional optimization method being trapped in the local minimum and the single bias point to optimize the parameter value without physical meaning. The small signal model is applied to the three kinds. The small signal S parameter prediction results of the same structure GaN HEMT show that the model has good accuracy and universal.2. microwave millimeter wave GaN HEMT large signal electrothermal model in the wide band range of 40 GHz. In view of the nonlinear thermal conductivity of the device material, the nonlinear finite element thermal imitation method is used to establish the nonlinearity of the power as a function. For the asymmetric transconductance of GaN HEMT, based on the traditional Angelov empirical based large signal model, the dependence characteristic of the nonlinear drain current model and the nonlinear gate capacitance model on the grid voltage is improved and modified. The pulse dynamic I-V test technique is used to characterize the trap effect of GaN HEMT, and the inclusion is included. The large signal electrothermal model of heat and trap effect. Compared with the traditional large signal model, the large signal model has higher prediction accuracy for the performance of DC I-V, output power and efficiency. Based on this modeling method, the modeling and large signal output characteristics of different field plate structures are modeled and the large signal output characteristics are analyzed, and the accuracy of the model is further verified. .3. high temperature GaN HEMT large signal thermoelectric model study on high temperature and low temperature HEMT large signal thermoelectric model;.GaN HEMT is often applied to the circuit and system of high and low temperature environment. Its electrical properties are not only influenced by the effect of self heat, but also with the change of ambient temperature. The effect of heat effect and ambient temperature on the GaN HEMT channel temperature is analyzed by using the finite element thermal stability and transient simulation method. The equivalent heat resistance and heat capacity parameters are extracted. The double thermo circuit model with the function of the environment temperature is established. The channel temperature is more accurate at the temperature of -55 to 175 oC. According to the high and low temperature electric heating characteristics, the nonlinear leakage current and the gate capacitance formula are improved. The test and simulation results show that the large signal electric heating model has a high prediction precision of.4.GaN HEM for small signal S parameters, large signal base wave, two harmonic and three harmonic output power and efficiency. T large signal scaling model research. The scalability of large signal model is an important means of modeling large size devices. In view of the thermal coupling effect and complex parasitic characteristics of multi finger devices, this paper takes the medium wide size of the empirical base large signal model as reference, and proposes the physical and geometric characteristics of the gate index and the unit gate width of the GaN HEMT devices. The whole large signal scaling model is established based on the thermo circuit model of the device size and the large signal model of the sub region structure. The GaN HEMT with the different gate index and the unit gate width shows that the large signal scaling model can accurately predict the load traction impedance of the fundamental and high harmonic waves. The accuracy of the prediction results in the high power and high efficiency amplifier monolithic circuit (MMIC) is high. It provides an accurate large signal scalable model for the design and optimization of large grid width and high efficiency power amplifier MMIC. The model research provides a certain guiding role.
