Abstract :
In this article, we introdnee a new approach for Electro Thermal modeling of power LDMOS transistor. The electrical description of each intrinsic component is done with 3D Bi-Cubic Splines. The electrical model is coupled to a 3D thermal model stemming from FEA simulation. This full 3D Electro Thermal model is used with the ADS circuit simulator.
