Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete Gallium Arsenide Metal Semiconconductor Field Effect Transistor (GaAs MESFET) model including deep-level trap effects has been developed, which is far more accurate than previous equivalent circuit models, for high-speed applications in linear integrated circuit design. A new self-backgating GaAs MESFET model, which can simulate low frequency anomalies, is presented by including deep-level trap effects which cause transconductance reduction and the output conductance and the saturation drain current to increase with the applied signal frequency. This model has been incorporated into PSPICE and includes a time dependent I-V curve model, a capacitance model, a subthreshold current model, an RC network describing the effective substrate-induced capacitance and resistance, and a switching resistance providing device symmetry. An analytical approach is used to derive capacitances which depend on Vgs and Vds and is one which also includes the channel/substrate junction modulation by the self backgating effect. A subthreshold current model is analytically derived by the mobile charge density from the parabolic potential distribution in the cut-off region. Sparameter errors between previous models and measured data in conventional GaAs MESFET's have been reduced by including a transit time delay in the transconductances, gm and gds, by the second order Bessel polynomial approximation. As a convenient extraction method, a new circuit configuration is also proposed for extracting simulated S-parameters which accurately predict measured data. Also, a large-signal GaAs MESFET model for performing nonlinear microwave circuit simulations is described. As a linear IC design vehicle for demonstrating the utility of the model, a 3-stage GaAs operational amplifier has been designed and also has been fabricated with results of a 35 dB open-loop gain at high frequencies and a 4 GHz gain bandwidth product by a conventional half micron MESFET technology. Using this new model, the low frequency anomalies of the GaAs amplifier such as a gain roll-off, a phase notch, and an output current lag are more accurately predicted than with any other previous model. This new self-backgating GaAs MESFET model, which provides accurate voltage dependent capacitances, frequency dependent output conductance, and transit time delay dependent transconductances, can be used to simulate low frequency effects in GaAs linear integrated circuit design.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristic of the subthreshold current in a GaAs MESFET exhibits a negative exponential function with Vgs. After studying the behavior of this current in this region over a range of temperature and drain bias voltages, a subthreshold current model was developed. The model was implemented in a circuit simulation program called VREFSIM. An arbitrary reference voltage is obtained by a simple selection of different component values. In this project, 2.56 volt and 1.28 volt references were designed and simulated. The simulated temperature coefficients of these two voltage references over a temperature range of -55 to 125 degrees Celsius were 7 and 26 parts-per-million (PPM)/Kelvin, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work is to develop a large signal lumped circuit model of the GaAs MESFET to aid in the designs of microwave MESFET circuits. The circuit elements of this model are obtained either directly or indirectly from the DC and RF measurements of the device to be modeled. To analyze this circuit model, a nonlinear circuit simulation computer program is written. This routine is base on a hybrid time-frequency domain iterative algorithm called 'multiple reflection technique'. To improve the speed of analysis, an accelerate convergence scheme is incorporated into the multiple reflection technique for the first time to analyze three terminal device. The validity of the analysis algorithm is first checked by comparing the simulation results of a MESFET with published data. The large signal model developed is then confirmed by comparing the simulation results of a MESFET modeled in this work to the experimental results. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallium Arsenide technology has come of age. GaAs integrated circuits are available today as gate arrays with an operating speed in excess of one Gigabits per second. Special purpose GaAs circuits are used in optical fiber digital communications systems for the purpose of regeneration, multiplexing and switching of the optical signals. As advances in fabrication and packaging techniques are made, the operat ing speed will further increase and the cost of production will reach a point where large scale application of GaAs circuits will be economical in these and other systems where speed is paramount. This book is written for students and engineers who wish to enter into this new field of electronics for the first time and who wish to embark on a serious study of the subject of GaAs circuit design. No prior knowledge of GaAs technology is assumed though some previous experience with MOS circuit design will be helpful. A good part of the book is devoted to circuit analysis, to the extent that is possible for non linear circuits. The circuit model of the GaAs transistor is derived from first principles and analytic formulas useful in predicting the approxi mate circuit performance are also derived. Computer simulation is used throughout the book to show the expected performance and to study the effects of parameter variations.

Book excerpt: The performance of high-speed semiconductor devices—the genius driving digital computers, advanced electronic systems for digital signal processing, telecommunication systems, and optoelectronics—is inextricably linked to the unique physical and electrical properties of gallium arsenide. Once viewed as a novel alternative to silicon, gallium arsenide has swiftly moved into the forefront of the leading high-tech industries as an irreplaceable material in component fabrication. GaAs High-Speed Devices provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-science look at the phenomenally expansive range of engineering devices gallium arsenide has made possible—as well as the fabrication methods, operating principles, device models, novel device designs, and the material properties and physics of GaAs that are so keenly integral to their success. In a clear five-part format, the book systematically examines each of these aspects of GaAs device technology, forming the first authoritative study to consider so many important aspects at once and in such detail. Beginning with chapter 2 of part one, the book discusses such basic subjects as gallium arsenide materials and crystal properties, electron energy band structures, hole and electron transport, crystal growth of GaAs from the melt and defect density analysis. Part two describes the fabrication process of gallium arsenide devices and integrated circuits, shedding light, in chapter 3, on epitaxial growth processes, molecular beam epitaxy, and metal organic chemical vapor deposition techniques. Chapter 4 provides an introduction to wafer cleaning techniques and environment control, wet etching methods and chemicals, and dry etching systems, including reactive ion etching, focused ion beam, and laser assisted methods. Chapter 5 provides a clear overview of photolithography and nonoptical lithography techniques that include electron beam, x-ray, and ion beam lithography systems. The advances in fabrication techniques described in previous chapters necessitate an examination of low-dimension device physics, which is carried on in detail in chapter 6 of part three. Part four includes a discussion of innovative device design and operating principles which deepens and elaborates the ideas introduced in chapter 1. Key areas such as metal-semiconductor contact systems, Schottky Barrier and ohmic contact formation and reliability studies are examined in chapter 7. A detailed discussion of metal semiconductor field-effect transistors, the fabrication technology, and models and parameter extraction for device analyses occurs in chapter 8. The fifth part of the book progresses to an up-to-date discussion of heterostructure field-effect (HEMT in chapter 9), potential-effect (HBT in chapter 10), and quantum-effect devices (chapters 11 and 12), all of which are certain to have a major impact on high-speed integrated circuits and optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) applications.
