Abstract
The paper presents an efficient technique for evaluating the DC sensitivity of GaAs monopolar or bipolar devices through a two-carrier drift-diffusion model. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Branin's method for the sensitivity analysis of electrical networks. Numerical results are presented concerning two topics: the behaviour of the distributed sensitivity within MESFET devices and the sensitivity-based statistical MESFET analysis with respect to random variations of the technological parameters, which is the basis of yield-driven device optimization.
