本論文主要是針對異質結構雙載子電晶體建立其VBIC model。
在大訊號模型建立上，我們利用ICCAP量測系統量測所需要的圖形如：順向gummel-plot、逆向gummel-plot、共射極直流輸出特性曲線…等；在接面電容量測上，將8510當作一個C-V量測系統；在小訊號S-參數模型建立上，同樣利用8510向量網路分析儀來量測S-參數。
在量測完所需要的圖形之後，利用ADS模擬軟體將模型參數萃取出來，並建立出完整的VBIC model，利用該模型模擬元件包括直流、交流…等特性，確認模型參數是否正確、元件在線性特性上的表現為何…等。 此外，模擬亦包括了自我加熱效應的部分。
其次，分別量測元件在不同溫度下的直流工作情形，建立出VBIC model中關於溫度的相關參數，目的是為了使得該元件不論是在何種溫度操作下，都能保持其模型穩定性，不會有誤差產生。
最後，利用負載-拉移量測找出元件最大輸出功率點為何，並進而量測出在不同輸入功率下所對應的輸出功率，並得到元件的功率增益及功率附加效率，以得知元件在功率特性的表現為何。 接著再利用所建立的VBIC model做關於功率特性方面的模擬，以得知大訊號模型是否能正確模擬元件的非線性特性。 在量測與模擬上，皆包含了固定偏壓與不同偏壓的部分。
