A Simple and Unambiguous Definition of Threshold Voltage and Its Implications in Deep-Submicron MOS - Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on

چکیده
A new definition of MOSFET threshold voltage is proposed, namely, the “critical-current at linear-threshold” method, which has a unique solution and is very simple to measure. This definition gives consistent values of threshold voltage for different regions of operation at long channel, and contains the information on short-channel effects at short channel, which is very useful for deep-submicron MOS device characterization and modeling. The proposed method effectively removes ambiguity of de facto industry standard of the constant-current method for MOS threshold voltage.

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
متن کاملA Simple General-purpose I-V Model for All Operating Modes of Deep Submicron MOSFETs
A simple general-purpose I-V model for all operating modes of deep-submicron MOSFETs is presented. Considering the most dominant short channel effects with simple equations including few extra parameters, a reasonable trade-off between simplicity and accuracy is established. To further improve the accuracy, model parameters are optimized over various channel widths and full range of operating v...
