Cross coupling is used to add transmission zeros for better steep band-edge, but still cannot meet the needs of application in practice.

The self-heating effects (SHE) in such FinFET at 50nm node are further investigated, and some analytical equations are derived for fast predicting the maximum temperature in its channel. On the other hand, transient temperature response under the circuit-speed random stress is also studied, which is mimicked by the Pseudo Random Binary Sequence signal. It is found that the AC and PRBS signals introduce the similar transient temperature response, while the lower frequency signal induces the worse self-heating effect.","PeriodicalId":132755,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129360730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the statistical model is fulfilled by combining principal component analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regressions modeling techniques. Finally, the statistical model is implemented in Agilent-ADS and validated by comparison between Monte Carlo simulation and measurement results. Furthermore, two S-band GaN HEMT power amplifiers are designed by using the established statistical model for demonstration purpose. The results show that good accuracy has been achieved between measurement results and Monte Carlo simulation results.
