Comparison of the New VBIC and Conventional Gummel–Poon Bipolar Transistor Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new bipolar transistor model called VBIC has recently been developed and is likely to replace the Gummel–Poon model as the new industry standard bipolar transistor model. This paper focuses on the comparison of the VBIC and Gummel–Poon models under the dc operations. The extraction and optimization procedure coded in S+ statistical language and required for VBIC simulation is also developed and presented.

Extraction of VBIC Model for SiGe HBTs Made Easy by Going through Gummel-Poon Model
A new parameter extraction methodology local ratio evaluation is presented which is well suited for converting one model to another. An example is given for VBIC model extraction by going through Spice Gummel-Poon (SGP) model. It is based on the fact that the VBIC model is a direct enhancement and extension of SGP model. Firstly, the standard SGP model is extracted in the standard way. Then, SG...
