High-Temperature Empirical Modeling for the I-V Characteristics of GaN150-Based HEMT

We describe in this paper a model for the I-V characteristics of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) working in high-temperature environments up to 250°C. Modeling of this emerging technology is a very significant step toward incorporating the technology in harsh environment applications. An extended version of the Angelov model is modified in this paper to consider the temperature as a variable. The developed model is fitted to the experimental I-V data using MATLAB. The reported experimental data are in good agreement with the model outputs over the specified temperature range. Moreover, the model was validated using the Spectre circuit simulator.
