Abstract:
In low-power applications FETs with small gate width are required. For such devices common extraction methods fail. In particular, extracting source inductance and drain pad capacitance using "cold"-FET measurements is no longer possible. We present an improved method that allows reliable extraction of extrinsic elements for small-sized FETs.
