  • Abstract
    An analytical model for silicon MESFETs that predicts static current-voltage characteristics continuously from subthreshold through above-threshold operation has been developed. The model is based on an expression for the channel charge density derived from an analytical solution of Poisson´s equation in one dimension including mobile electrons and holes. The closed-form current model is verified with measured data in all regimes of operation
