چکیده

Using a modified ionization model based on nonlocal impact ionization, Miller's relationship is examined for typical reach-through collector VLSI bipolar transistors with collector epi-thickness between 0.025 and 1 /im. The empirical parameter n in Miller's relationship is evaluated under nonlocal impact ionization conditions within the useful range of current gain which corresponds to 0.1 > 1 — 1/M > 0.005. The validity of Miller's relationship is also examined for power bipolar transistors having reach-through collectors (Wepi < Wpt) using local ionization model and design curves for the empirical parameter n are provided for different collector structures. still flows out even tin the depletion isolation operation. This is one of the major differences between nonfully-depleted SGT's and PD thin-film SOI devices, which mitigates the floating-body effect in SGT's.

Spice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits

An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...

High Performance Lateral Schottky Collector Bipolar Transistors on SOI for VLSI Applications

Advanced bipolar transistors play a vital role in RF/Microwave applications. But they need to satisfy stringent demands on device performance parameters such as β, gm, and fT. Many of the bipolar technologies developed to meet these demands are vertical structures and suffer from many non−ideal effects at high collector current densities. In the present work, to enhance the performance limits o...
