Abstract

This paper evaluates the RF performance of an Asymmetric π - Gate MOSHEMT and HEMT architecture for high frequency applications through extensive TCAD simulations. To ensure that the simulation results conform with the actual device, simulation results have been calibrated with respect to experimental data. The calibrated device then acts as a primer for realizing the π - Gate HEMT and its Asymmetric MOSHEMT architecture. The performance has been investigated by introducing MOSHEMT architecture under both legs of the π - structure. Comparisons demonstrate an improvement in terms of current gain cut - off frequency by 20% (under right leg) — 25% (under left leg) when compared with the original π - Gate HEMT.
