Many possible future device structures are investigated in parallel to obtain highest performance features. It has been shown that an SOI-MOSFET with a thin body enables both high device performances and suppression of statistical variations. Another possible approach to facilitate the scaling is to use the third dimension, so that multi-gate MOSFET structures using this approach are becoming attractive. This paper addresses the importance of circuit-simulation models, which are based on device physics and are realized by solving the Poisson equation explicitly. The HiSIM-model family, which covers all structures from bulk MOSFETs to multi-gate MOSFETs, is presented as an example fulfilling these requirements.
