通过对GaN高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)在不同温度下直流特性变化的现象与机理分析, 本文基于EEHEMT等效电路模型, 针对GaN HEMT漏源电流Ids提出了一种温度效应模型. 该模型考虑到温度对GaN HEMT阈值电压、膝点电压、饱和电流等方面的影响, 对原始EEHEMT模型中的Ids公式进行修改, 将Ids公式中的关键参数与温度建立起适当的函数关系式. 修改后的模型能够准确反映GaN HEMT在不同温度下的电性能变化趋势. 为了进一步验证该温度效应模型的精确度, 本文在片测试了由南京电子器件研究所研制的0.25 μm工艺不同尺寸GaN HEMT在–55, –25, 25和75 ℃温度下的直流特性. 对比在不同温度下的模型仿真数据与测试结果, 两者相对误差均小于5%, 表明本文提出的温度效应模型在–55—75 ℃温度下能够精准表征GaN器件的输出特性及转移特性.Due to the advantages of high power density, high efficiency, and great potential in extreme temperature environments, the GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device is widely used in circuit systems at high or low temperatures. However, its electrical performance is sensitive to the ambient temperature. Therefore, it is essential to build a model that can accurately characterize the electrical performance of GaN HEMTs at different ambient temperatures, which is also essential for precise circuit design. With the analysis of experiment and theory on the GaN HEMT at different ambient temperatures, an improved model for temperature effect on the DC characteristics of the GaN HEMT is proposed based on EEHEMT model. Considering the influence of the ambient temperature on electrical properties of the GaN HEMT, such as the threshold voltage, the knee voltage, and the saturated current, the model establishes a temperature-dependent function for key parameters in the formula of the drain-source current. Through Verilog-A implementation and simulation on the ICCAP software, the improved model accurately reflects the trend of the electrical performance changes of the GaN HEMT at different ambient temperatures. To further verify the model in this work, the on-wafer measurements at different temperatures including –55, –25, 25 and 75 ℃ are carried out for GaN HEMTs with different sizes, which are developed by Nanjing Electronic Devices Institute. Compared with the measured data, the output characteristics and the transfer characteristics simulated by the proposed model are accurate in an ambient temperature range of –55–75 ℃, with a relative fitting error less than 5%. The result shows that the improved model is of guiding significance in analyzing the direct current performance and high reliability design of circuits at different temperatures.
