The temperature distribution in a MOS transistor caused by power dissipation within the device has been calculated by solving the heat diffusion equation. Using this temperature distribution, IV characteristics of a MOS device as modified by thermal effects are calculated. The predicted behavior matches reported experimental observations; in particular, the negative dynamic resistance seen in the saturation region of devices operating at elevated power densities.
