Two-Dimensional Analytical Threshold Voltage Modelling of Pseudomorphic Si0.8Ge0.2p-Channel MOSFETs

On the Extraction of Threshold Voltage, Effective Channel Length and Series Resistance of MOSFETs (Invited)

-The first part of this article presents the modeling of the long-channel bulk MOSFET as a particular case of the SOI MOSFET. The second part reviews compares and scrutinizes various methods to extract the threshold voltage, the effective channel and the individual values of drain and source resistances. These are important device parameters for modeling and circuit simulation.

Effect of gate dielectric on threshold voltage of Nanoscale MOSFETS

An integrated circuit (IC) dimensions continue to decrease, RC delay, crosstalk noise, and power dissipation of the interconnect structure become limiting factors for ultra-large-scale integration of integrated circuits. Modern microcircuits may have eight metal layers, each separated by only 0.1 micrometers. RC delays and cross talk rather than transistor speed are now the major performance li...

Physics-Based Scalable Threshold-Voltage Model for Strained-Silicon MOSFETs

In this paper, an analytical threshold-voltage (Vt) model derived from Poisson equation for NMOS devices with a strained-silicon channel is described in terms of band, material, doping, and structure parameters and validated with Medici simulations. The model equations are derived based on bulk reference to preserve the symmetry of the model, and extended to short-channel devices based on previ...

Two-dimensional Analytical Modelling of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

Direct methanol fuel cells are regarded nowadays as promising energy sources for portable electronic devices. Numerical models can be very useful for addressing the exploration of the fuel cell performance, without the development of many prototypes, which can be very expensive due to the presence of rear materials. Analytical models are particularly suited for investigating the cell performanc...
