Description

[0002] In the process of three-five group compound semiconductor, the model accuracy of the device can help the designer to design the required circuit. The device model can accurately represent the electrical characteristics of the device, and plays a guiding role in circuit design. Among them, the experience-based Angelov equivalent circuit model uses hyperbolic tangent function to reflect the relationship between the current and voltage of the transistor, which ensures the continuity and high-order derivability of the model, and it can also correctly represent the nonlinear effect of the device. With its good convergence and good prediction characteristics of transconductance and high-order transconductance, the Angelov model is widely used in the industry.

[0003] However, it is found in practical application that although the Angelov method can better fit the transistor IV curve (Ids-Vds curve under different Vgs), the die radio frequency test and radio frequency simulation using the method have large differences. The physical explanation of this dispersion phenomenon is usually attributed to the trapping of channel carriers at the channel-substrate interface and the channel-surface interface, i.e. the trap effect. The Angelov algorithm currently only describes the dispersion phenomenon by setting a dispersion capacitor and a dispersion resistor, and the simulated dispersion current has limited accuracy.

[0080] When the frequency freq=0, the fitted dispersion current ;

[0081] At this time, the drain-source current is ;

[0082] When the frequency freq≠0, the drain-source current is: .

[0083] S5, obtaining topological circuit parameters (intrinsic capacitances (gate-source capacitance Cgs, gate-drain capacitance Cgd), parasitic resistances (Rg, Rd, Rs, Ri), parasitic inductances (Lg, Ld, Ls)) from the Angelov model topology of the transistor, and describing the S parameters of the transistor under multi-bias based on the total drain-source current of the transistor and the topological circuit parameters;

[0085] When optimizing the fitting parameters in the current equation of the improved dispersion type Angelov model, it is verified whether the fitting parameters meet the modeling accuracy, and if not, the transistor DC parameters with dispersion parameters are re-extracted and steps S3-S6 are repeated until the modeling accuracy is met, wherein the fitting parameters are the transistor DC parameters with dispersion parameters extracted by the method of pre-pulse pulse test.

[0086] Specifically, it also includes the extraction term of the transistor gate-drain capacitance and gate-source capacitance extracted by the method of Cold-FET, and when optimizing the fitting parameters in the current equation of the improved dispersion type Angelov model, it is also necessary to verify whether the extraction term of the transistor gate-drain capacitance and gate-source capacitance meets the modeling accuracy;

[0087] When the fitting parameters and the extraction term of the transistor gate-drain capacitance and gate-source capacitance meet the modeling accuracy at the same time, the improved dispersion type Angelov model of the transistor is obtained.

[0088] It can be understood that the specific implementation mode of the present application is realized by Verilog-A program code, and the equivalent circuit diagram of the Angelov model topology of the transistor is as shown in Figure 2 The ideal capacitor Cdb is used to determine whether to use , wherein Rg, Rs, and Rd are the parasitic resistances of the transistor, Lg, Ls, and Ld are the parasitic inductances of the transistor, and Ri is the gate resistance of the transistor.

S represents the source of the transistor, D represents the drain of the transistor, and G represents the gate of the transistor, represents the basic drain-source current, represents the fitting dispersion current. Based on the equivalent circuit diagram of Figure 2 , the modeling process is:

[0089] Firstly, the On-Fet is used to extract the parasitic inductance Lg, Ls, Ld and the parasitic resistance Rg, Rd, Rs and the gate diode coefficient.

[0090] Secondly, the pulse voltage and current test method is used to extract the DC parameters without dispersion. The parameters extracted in this step are Compared with the traditional Angelov method, the expression of the control function is changed to , which can better fit the transconductance of the transistor. In addition, the is changed to , which increases the robustness of the drain-source current and makes it easier to converge.

[0091] Thirdly, the pulse test method with pre-pulse is used to extract the DC parameters of the transistor with dispersion. This step mainly extracts .

[0092] The fourth step is to extract the gate-drain capacitance Cgd and the gate-source capacitance Cgs using the Cold-Fet method.

[0093] The fifth step is to measure the S parameters of multiple bias. This step is to verify the accuracy of the parameter extraction results of steps three and four. If the modeling accuracy is not met, it needs to return to step three for extraction. That is, steps three to five are a process of cyclic optimization iteration.

[0094] The equation of the traditional Angelov method is:

[0095]

[0097] The above is the traditional Angelov equation. In practical application, it is found that this series of equations cannot accurately describe the transconductance Gm no matter how. Comprehensive analysis found that it is caused by too few parameters in the description. In order to increase the accuracy of the transconductance and improve the convergence of the entire current equation, the current equation is rewritten from the following aspects:

[0098] 1, by rewriting P2 as , rewriting P3 as Can better fit , so that the fitting accuracy of the transconductance is higher, and the drain current equation is from:

By rewriting P2 as , rewriting P3 as Can better fit , so that the fitting accuracy of the transconductance is higher.

[0104] 2, in order to improve the description accuracy of the S parameter. The embodiment increases the dispersion current equation , Similar to , but the above traditional Angelov equation is rewritten as:

[0105]

[0106] Here, The meaning is the same as , the meaning of The meaning is the same as , the meaning of ​with the meaning of , with the meaning of , with the meaning of , except that the one with the db flag is the dispersion parameter extracted from the pre-pulse current.

[0107] 3, The drain-source current equation of the transistor is divided into two parts, namely the DC part and the discrete part

[0108]

[0109] As shown in the above formula is the total drain-source current of the transistor, which has two independent variables, namely the gate-source voltage and the drain-source voltage .

[0110] is the base drain-source current when the frequency freq =0. is the drain-source dispersion current when freq ≠0. In the Verilog-A of the present application, the current simulation frequency will be read from the simulator. In the circuit topology, an ideal capacitor is used to simulate the difference of the frequency-dependent current, based on the frequency characteristics of the ideal capacitor: DC does not pass, AC short circuit, then we can get:

[0111] When freq = 0 , the drain-source current of the transistor is:

[0112]

[0113] When freq ≠ 0 , the drain-source current of the transistor is:

[0114]

It can be seen that the overall root mean square error is less than 5%, and the simulation results are basically consistent.

[0120] As Figure 8 shown, the RMS values of the measured and simulated S12 (statistical frequency of 0.1 GHz-20 GHz) are shown when the drain-source voltage is 8V and the gate-source voltage is from -1V to -0.5V with an interval of 0.05V. It can be seen that the root mean square error is less than 20% when the gate voltage is from -0.8V to -0.6V, which is the commonly used gate voltage range of the process.

[0121] As Figure 9 shown, the RMS values of the measured and simulated S21 (statistical frequency of 0.1 GHz-20 GHz) are shown when the drain-source voltage is 8V and the gate-source voltage is from -1V to -0.5V with an interval of 0.05V. It can be seen that the overall root mean square error value is less than 7%, and the simulation results are basically consistent.
