Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Accurate characterization of field effect transistors (FETs) is necessary for precise design of monolithic-microwave integrated-circuits (MMICs). Extraction of FET parameters, or characterization, is difficult because the FET is embedded in the parasitic circuit, which is referred to as test element group (TEG), to connect probe and bias. De-embedding method using open/short-TEG had been widely used in characterization of FETs. But two approximations are used in the conventional de-embedding method using open/short-TEG [1]; (1) incompleteness of open and short pattern, and (2) approximation of a parasitic circuit by an equivalent circuit topology. Those approximations cause ambiguity and non-negligible error especially in high frequency band. So, the authors have proposed the de-embedding method using EM simulator, which is more accurate than the conventional de-embedding method. In the proposed method, S-parameters of the four-port parasitic circuit are analyzed by the EM simulator, and unknown two-port Z(Y)-parameters of the embedded lumped-element device are extracted via matrix algebra. It is verified via numerical simulation that the proposed de-embedding method has higher accuracy than the conventional one, and the error factor in the conventional de-embedding method is mainly due to the equivalent circuit approximation of the parasitic circuit.
