Abstract

This paper presents a simple approach to model the self-heating effect in GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) using a particle swarm neural network and also reports the extraction procedure of the model parameters. The main advantage of the developed method is its simplicity of construction and implementation in computer-aided-design tools. The developed modeling procedure is applied to a packaged GaN HEMT and validated by DC and AC small/large-signal simulations, which showed a very good agreement with the measurements.
