Devices

Transistors are devices.

There are more transistors in the world than there are leaves on every single tree on planet Earth !

Device Characterization and Parameter Extraction

What is a device parameter you ask?

Information is key to knowing things.

Knowledge is expressed in Watts, since knowledge is power (and power is expressed in Watts).

Small Signal Equivalent Circuit Parameters
Thermal Parameters

Thermal resistance and capacitance.

Static and dynamic self-heating.

Electrical characterization techniques and effects to account for.

Extreme Conditions
