Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the high-frequency behavior of Ga2O3 hot-electron transistors (HETs). We propose a small-signal model for Ga2O3 HET for the first time. The developed equivalent circuit can be easily integrated into the SPICE program providing a fast simulation result compared to the numerical simulation. The proposed equivalent circuit includes capacitances, current source, RC-delay circuit, and resistances to capture the intrinsic behavior of the transistor. The proposed circuit model is implemented in Advanced Design System (ADS), and the S-parameters are simulated over a wide frequency range. The results show that a positive power gain is realized as the collector current density increases. The cut-off frequency is also found to increase with the current density. The analysis provides valuable insights into the performance of Ga2O3 HET s and their potential for high-frequency applications.
