Conclusion

We develop a unified hybrid compact model of a different structure β-Ga2O3 SBDs for full-wave rectifier and mixer applications. The model results are compared with experimental data, and a good match was attained. Its SPICE-compatibility for circuit simulation is demonstrated in the rectifier and mixer. Considering the universality of this model, it can be practical to characterize β-Ga2O3 SBDs with other structures and further evaluate their performance in various circuits.
