An Advanced Surface-Potential-Plus MOSFET Model

He J., Xi X., Chan M., Niknejad A., Hu C., University of California at Berkeley, US

Like other surface-potential based model, our surface-potential-plus model starts with charge-sheet approximation, uses the quasi-Fermi-potential to integrate drift and diffusion current and formulates an inversion charge equation that can be analytically solved for given terminal [...]

The Development of Next Generation BSIM for Sub-100nm Mixed-Signal Circuit Simulation

Xi X., He J., Heyderi B., Dunga M., Lin C.H., Heyderi B., Wan H., Chan M., Niknejad A.M., Hu C., University of California at Berkeley, US

This paper describes the next generation BSIM model for aggressively scaled CMOS technology. New features in the model include more accurate non-charge-sheet based physics, completely continuous current and derivatives, and extendibility to non-traditional CMOS based [...]
