AbstractAn simple model for the simulation of the electrical behaviour of several types of junction controlled field-effect transistors is proposed. It is based on the calculation of the carrier concentration in the channel by means of a self-consistent solution of Schrödinger and Poisson's equation in the direction perpendicular to the current flow. Based on the carrier concentration the dc, the small-signal, and also the noise properties of the devices may be simulated. The calculated characteristics of a sub-quarter micron gate GaAs MESFET, a δ-doped GaAs FET and a Velocity Modulation Transistor will be presented and discussed.
