Silicon Nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor NBTI Effect Modeling and Application in Circuit Performance Simulation

Ma C., He J., He Q., Chan M., Du C., He J., He Q., Ye Y., Zhao W., Wu W., Zhang X., Wang W., PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hongkong Institution, CN

A Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) model for the P-typed Silicon based nanowire MOS field effect transistor (SNWFET) and its application in the circuit simulation is studied in this paper. The model is derived from [...]

Parallel Integrated Solar Cell Circuits for Split Solar Spectrum Light Source

Li Y., Shi F., Texas A&M University, US

Among the various solar energy application technologies, the photovoltaic technology is, in particular, the most desirable technology for large-scale applications due to the fact that the solar energy in optical form is directly transformed into [...]

Compact Modeling and Circuit Impact of a Novel Frequency Dependence of Capacitance in RF MOSFETs

Sudhama C., Joardar K., Whitfield J., Zlotnicka A., Motorola SPS, US

The exploration and modeling of high-frequency MOSFET phenomena are vitally important because MOSFETs are emerging as candidates for active devices in front-end RF circuits operating at more than 1GHz [1-2]. In this work we present [...]

Spice-like Simulation Using Real Devices Instead of their Mathematical Models

Denisenko V.V., Research Laboratory of Design Automation, RU

Modern Spice-like circuit simulators use increasingly accurate and sophisticated analytical models of components. But the validity of models, that is the probability that the procedure of the model verification is true, still remains very poor. [...]
