  10. Impact of self-heating on the semiconductor properties Measured temperature-dependent current–voltage characteristics for 9- µm single-anode varactor diode. Temperature points from 283 to 333 K with 10 K steps are used. Slice of the diode for temperature distribution in XZ plane with 5 mW input power.

  11. Schottky Diode Thermal Model • An accurate thermal model necessary to: • Predict the device reliability; • Predict the Series (or negative) resistance. • ; (1) • , (2) • where • is the saturation current, • is the ideality factor, • is the series resistance of the diode, • V is the applied voltage, • is the junction area, • is the Richardson constant, • is Boltzmann’s constant, • is the barrier height, • is the elementary charge • is the junction temperature.

  14. Extraction method of Schottky Diode parameters with allowance for temperature • Extraction method based on the combination of I-V and S- parameters measurement; (The temperature-sensitive parameters here is voltage) • Transient-current based method. (The temperature-sensitive parameters here is transient current)
