Status of the GaN HEMT Standardization Effort at the Compact Model Coalition

Abstract

The Compact Model Coalition (CMC), a part of the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2), is standardizing a compact model for Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistors (GaN HEMTs). After a global search for model candidates, eight were selected to present at a CMC meeting. In the next phase, selected candidates will be evaluated for their ability to fit a common set of hardware data. After a third round of more comprehensive testing, a standard GaN HEMT model will be selected.
