A new direct extraction method for the determination of the parasitic capacitances of HEMTs is presented in this article. This method is based on a physically meaningful depletion‐layer model and the theoretical analysis of the two‐port network for the pinch‐off cold FETs. The main advantage of this approach is that parasitic capacitance C pg , C pd , and C pdg can be extracted under different pinch‐off conditions. Good agreement is obtained between modeled and measured results for 2 × 20 μm gate width HEMT (number of gate fingers × unit gate width). © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
