It has recently become clear that the electronics industry is turning away from source-referenced, threshold voltage based MOSFET models. The two main approaches as candidates to replace BSIMtype models are inversion-charge and surface-potential models. This paper provides an overview of the basic physics that must be modeled to build a compact model for the MOSFET and compares the two approaches taken by the developers of next generation models.
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.
