  • Abstract
    A new approach is presented for including physical GaAs MESFET models in SPICE. The approach is used to incorporate in SPICE 3d1 a physical model based on a two-piece velocity-field approximation for GaAs. Temperature-dependent effects are included in the physical model. Good agreement between measured and simulated data is obtained
