Abstract
This paper is for accurately simulating the breakdown of MHEMTs with an InP-etchstop layer. 2D-Hydrodynamic simulation parameters are investigated and calibrated for the InP-epitaxy layer. With these calibrated parameters, simulations are performed and analyzed for the breakdown of devices with an InP-etchstop layer. In the paper, the impact-ionization coefficients, the mobility degradation due to doping concentration, and the saturation velocity for InP-epitaxy layer are newly calibrated for more accurate breakdown simulation.
