Encompassing three important technologies, this book explains why III-V transistor device electrical characteristics change with temperature, and develops models of the temperature change for use in integrated circuit design programs. You'll find a wealth of experimental S-equivalent-circuit parameter data on a wide variety of devices that has never before been presented, as well as learn how to measure S-parameters and fit equivalent circuits. Includes 200 equations and 181 illustrations.
