Quasi‐static models of n‐terminal semiconductor devices usually express terminal currents as the sum of steady‐state and transient components. We consider here the formulation where these transient components are assumed to be time derivatives of charges associated with the terminals and these charges are completely specified by the terminal voltages applied to the device. This paper describes a method for extracting these terminal charges from two‐dimensional device simulations of MOS transistors. The technique was used to obtain terminal charges for an n‐channel MOS transistor and some results are presented. In addition, charge tables were generated and used in a table model for MOS transistors. The transient behavior of a circuit using this table model is compared with a physical time‐domain simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
