Abstract
A GaAs MESFET model capable of accurately describing currents in the subthreshold region is described. The model is based on the concept of drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) together with the reverse-bias Schottky diode conduction. Agreement between measured and calculated data based on this model was excellent.
