Abstract
The paper discusses a general approach to the electrothermal simulation of nonlinear FET circuits. The thermal resistance of each active device is first computed by a numerical method based on physical and layout information, and is then used to derive a temperature-dependent nonlinear model starting from measured DC and small-signal information. The combined thermal and electrical simulation is then carried out by an extended harmonic-balance technique.
