Si-Based Process Aware SPICE Models for Statistical Circuit Analysis

Krishnamurthy S., Dasarapu V.K., Mahotin Y., Ryles R., Roger F., Uppal S., Mukherjee P., Cuthbertson A., Lin X-W, Synopsys, Inc., US

This paper describes methodology for constructing compact SPICE models as a function of process parameter variations. The methodology involves global extraction of process-dependant SPICE model parametersfrom silicon data. The robustness of this methodology was tested [...]

Process Aware Hybrid SPICE Models using TCAD and Silicon Data

Mahotin Y., Tirumala S., Lin X., Pramanik D., Synopsys, Inc., US

This paper describes the methodology for extraction of process dependant hybrid SPICE compact model parameters using calibrated TCAD data and measured Silicon data. Process dependence of electrical curves is, initially, estimated using TCAD data set. [...]

TCAD-based Process Dependant HSPICE Model Parameter Extraction

Mahotin Y., Tirumala S., Lin X-W, Pramanik D., Synopsys, Inc., US

This paper describes the methodology for global extraction of HSPICE compact model parameters as explicit polynomial functions of process parameter variations (halo dosage, gate oxidation temperature etc). Electrical data required for extraction is obtained from [...]

An Optimization Method of Deep Submicron SOI Compact Model Parameter Extraction

Mahotin Y., Mickevicius R., Synopsys, Inc., US

As SOI rapidly advances to the vanguard of ULSI technology, compact model parameter extraction for SOI still relies on indirect methods. Floating body (FB) device parameter extraction is currently based on body contact (BC) devices. [...]

Automatic BSIM3/4 Model Parameter Extraction with Penalty Functions

Mahotin Y., Lyumkis E., Integrated Systems Engineering, Inc., US

The first successful automatic extraction of BSIM3/4 model parameters based on numerical optimization of a functional, which includes penalty functions, is reported. The penalty functions always keep the values of the model parameters within a [...]
