RUI: CAD and Modeling of High Power High Frequency Devices

PIN二极管是一种半导体器件，广泛应用于高频通信电路和高功率发电设备等领域。 该项目正在开发和测试PIN二极管的通用CAD模型。该模型适用于由元素半导体或化合物材料制成的PIN二极管。该项目建立在当前和过去的建模工作，开发一个模型的PIN二极管，可以纳入SPICE类模拟器。该项目的工作还包括探索从实验测量中提取模拟器建模参数的方法。本科生参与该项目，开发自动测试设备，在直流和高频下测量各种半导体器件，并创建和维护一个用于传播研究成果的网站。

The PIN diode is a semiconductor device used in a wide variety of applications such as high frequency communications circuits and high power generation equipment. This project is developing and testing a general CAD model for the PIN diode. The model is applicable to PIN diodes made of either elemental semiconductors or compound materials. The project builds upon current and past modeling efforts to develop a model for the PIN diode that can be incorporated into SPICE-like simulators. The project work also includes exploring a methodology for extracting simulator modeling parameters from experimental measurements. Undergraduate students are being involved in the project to develop automated test equipment, measure various semiconductor devices at both dc and high frequency, and creating and maintaining a web site for dissemination of research results.
