[mathcad] Short gate MESFET model
Author: Richard Balmer    Posted: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 15:00:34 +0100
Hi, I have implemented a Mathcad worksheet to model a long channel MESFET based on formulae in Sze (basically the same formulae as a JFET). I would like to model a short channel MESFET where velocity saturation comes into play, but am having difficulty generating a coherent transistor output characteristic (the current at the transition between active and saturation regions doesn't match). In the active part of the characteristic, the current is mobility dependent (and Vds, Vgs). In the saturation part of the characteristic, the current is saturation velocity dependent (and Vgs), but the voltage drop along the channel is unknown. I am using the Mathcad 'Find' function to solve 2 equations with 2 unknowns, Ids and p. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Many thanks if you can help.

I'm not familar with the subject area, but if you could post a worksheet someone might be able to give some advice.
