Abstract
In this work, we present a comprehensive high-to-low propagation delay model for NCFET based circuits–which is also fully compatible with any baseline Si-MOSFET. The proposed physics-based analytical delay model is quick to converge, portable, covers all regions of operation, and is technology independent. The model is successfully validated against the 90nm Berkeley NCFET measurement data as well as different commercial MOSFET Process Design Kit (PDK)–under variable device dimensions, supply voltage, external load and temperature.
