Abstract :
The HEMT with recessed gate is modelled using a finite difference method by solving the current continuity equation, energy transport equation and Poisson equation self-consistently with the Schrodinger equation. The independent variables used in the routines are the electrostatic potential /spl psi/, the quasi Fermi level E/sub F/ and the electron temperature.
