Abstract

A novel and robust direct parameter extraction method for hybrid-p equivalent circuit model of HBT is proposed. A new expression that can accurately resolve the base internal resistance from the measured S-parameters is derived, and it is not sensitive to the values of parasitic access inductance values. Based on the expression, six analytical expressions for the other parameters is developed and these expressions for hybrid-p equivalent circuit modeling ensure robust, fast, and reliable parameter extraction.

HBT의 하이브리드 파이 등가회로모델에 대한 새롭고 안정적인 파라메터 추출방법을 제안한다. 측정된 S-파라메터로부터 베이스 내부 저항을 정확히 계산 할 수 있는 식이 유도 되었으며 이 식은 외부 접근 인덕턴스의 값에 크게 민감하지 않다. 이를 기반으로 다른 파라메터를 위한 6 개의 해석적 표현식이 개발되었고 하이브리드 파이 등가회로 모델링을 위한 이 식들은 안정적이고 빠르며 신뢰성 있는 파라메터 추출을 가능케한다.
