Accounting for experimentally observed transients in simulation of partially-depleted SOI MOSFET's

Abstract

This paper has shown that a unique set of carrier lifetime and impact ionization rate can be used to account for both the transient behavior and DC I-V characteristics of a partially-depleted SOI MOSFET. Operation of these devices at low to moderate drain voltages ( 1.0 to 2.0 V) was shown to be strongly related to both impact ionization rate and carrier lifetime.
