Abstract

We present a deembedding roadmap for extracting parasitic elements of a nanowire (NW) MESFET device from full two-port scattering-parameter measurements in the frequency range from 0.1 GHz to 25 GHz. The NW MESFET is integrated in a microwave coplanar waveguide structure. A convetional MESFET circuit modeling is modified to include small capacitance that is nonnegligible in the NW devices. We follow a detailed step-by-step removal of external elements and an iteration search for optimized model data. The fitted model indicates good agreement with experimental data across the frequency band. This study reflects a significant step toward full circuit modeling of NW MESFET devices under the normal operating conditions.
