Abstract
A pulsed I(V) and S-parameters setup for the RF modeling of semi-conductor devices is described. The management of the whole setup as well as the database is made by an object-oriented software, which provides a large amount of modularity and reusability of the different tools developed. Measurements capability on power devices is demonstrated as well as the S-parameters measurements capabilities in critical regions of FET devices. I(V) and RF measures are presented. These measurements provide a nonlinear small-signal equivalent circuit function of the command voltages.Keywords
