A Framework for Generic Physics Based Double-Gate MOSFET Modeling

Chan M., Taur Y., Lin C.H., He J., Niknejad A., Hu C., Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, HK

This paper presents a framework to develop a generic and physical Double-Gate MOSFET model. Due to limited available physical data and existence of a large variety of device structures, flexibility to assemble model modules to [...]

A Technology-based Compact Model for Predictive Deep-Submicron MOSFET Modeling and Characterization

Zhou X., Chiah S.B., Lim K.Y., Nanyang Technological University, SG

This paper presents new development results of our compact model (Xsim) for deep-submicron MOSFETs. Although a threshold-voltage-based and source-referenced regional model, Xsim meets the basic requirements of continuity (to third-order derivatives), scalability (entire geometry range), [...]

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 [...]

HiSIM: Accurate Charge Modeling Important for RF Era

Miura-Mattausch M., Navarro D., Ueno H., Mattausch H.J., Miura-Mattausch M., Morikawa K., Itoh S., Kobayashi A., Masuda H., Hiroshima University, JP

Extension of the gradual-channel approximation is presented with the surface-potential-based MOSFET modeling. All phenomena observed under the saturation condition are described by the potential increase in the pinch-off region in a self-consistent way. The charge [...]

Theory, Development and Applications of the Advanced Compact MOSFET (ACM) Model

Galup-Montoro C., Schneider M.C., Cunha A.I.A., Gouveia-Filho O.C., Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, BR

This paper presents a physics-based advanced compact MOSFET (ACM) model. The ACM model is composed of very simple expressions, valid for any inversion level, conserves charge and preserves the source-drain symmetry of the transistor. We [...]

USIM Design Considerations

Bell A., Singhal K., Gummel H., Agere Systems, US

Compact models need to be carefully designed to predict circuit behavior efficiently, accurately and robustly. A variety of effects must work together and be consistently integrated into the model equations with redundancy. USIM is a [...]

A Basic Property of MOS Transistors and its Circuit Implications

Vittoz E., Enz C., Krummenacher F., Swiss Center for Electronics & Microtechnology, CH

The MOS transistor drain current is the (linear) superposition of independent and symmetrical effects of source and drain voltages. This basic property is not affected by the geometry or symmetry of the transistor, by the [...]

Implications of Gate Tunneling and Quantum Effects in the Gate-Channel Stack

Dutton R., Choi C-H, Stanford University, US

Simulation and modeling of gate tunneling current for thin-oxide MOSFETs and Double-Gate SOIs are discussed. Guidelines for design of leady MOS capacitors are proposed. Resonant gate tunneling current in DG SOI is simulated, based on [...]

Implementation and Simulation of Fast Inverter Control Algorithms with the use of FPGA Circuit

Jastrzebski R., Napieralski A., Pyrhonen O., Saren H., Technical University of Lodz, PL

DTC (Direct Torque Control) techniques incorporating fast microprocessors and DSPs have made possible the application of AC motors for high-performance applications where traditionally the DC motors were applied. In this paper the DTC algorithm implemented [...]
