MiamiOH OARS on 15 Sep 17Our goal is to develop and enable advanced, physics-based GaN models unified with compact models, and the associated processes for extracting parameters that accurately capture device phenomenology at the nanoscale level yet allow fast simulation convergence at the design level across RF, analog, and digital domains. Such advanced physics-based GaN models coupled to PDKs are expected to enable accurate trade-off decisions between performance and reliability at the design stage, resulting in higher fidelity modeling results and fewer design-build-test iterations. The expected value to the Air Force is that fewer design iterations should lead to dramatic component and system cost reductions while maintaining high reliability and quality assurance for next generation AF and DoD systems. The accompanying value to industry is that system designers will be able to capture costs associated with performance normalized for time-to-failure with the goal of ultimately achieving Hi-Rel parts at commercial consumer prices.
