The RF device-under-test studied in this work is a commercial multi-finger GaN HEMT with a considerably large gate-periphery of 10 × 90 µm. A systematic analysis of the K-factor is done by deriving its mathematical expression in terms of the equivalent circuit intrinsic and extrinsic components. While gate-to-drain capacitance is unanimously considered to be the most critical component in determining the device stability performance, due to the formation of the feedback loop, the simulation and experimental results obtained in this work reveal potential regions of device instability in the form of peaks and valleys, that emerge as a manifestation of the coupling between the via-inductance and the intrinsic drain-to-source capacitance. This study is of significance particularly to multi-finger large gate-periphery devices since they have a reduced gate-resistance and therefore are driven further into instability. This work is expected to serve as a guideline in obtaining optimized multi-finger RF transistors with regard to stability.","PeriodicalId":178751,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Modeling of Systems Circuits and Devices (MOS-AK India)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129245514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an advanced simulation framework we analyze Si nanowire transistors. We report on the characterization of strain components in the structures with silicon–germanium source-drain extension. Lattice strain analysis is performed using elasticity theory. Self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson based simulations are used to clarify the physical mechanisms for mobility enhancement and to provide guidelines for nanowire transistor design.

In order to achieve high sensitivity, a thin diaphragm of large area is employed with a small separation gap. This introduces non-linearity, decreases the dynamic range and increases the size of the sensor. Thus, an optimum sensor design is necessary to balance these trade-offs. This paper presents theoretical modeling and numerical simulations on various performance parameters like diaphragm deflection, change in capacitance, mechanical and capacitive sensitivities and nonlinearity of a clamped and normal mode elliptical capacitive pressure sensor for 0 – 8 kPa operating pressure range. This analysis can form the basis for compact modelling (CM) of circular and elliptical capacitive pressure sensors for simulation with large scale circuits. In all the designs of elliptical and circular shape, the diaphragm thickness and separation gap are held constant at 7 µm and 1 µm respectively. The semi-major and semi-minor axes of the elliptical sensor have been varied from 100µm to 300 µm. We have taken into account the small deflection theory, Kirchhoff’s plate theory and pull–in phenomena while designing the model. To follow small deflection theory, the maximum diaphragm deflection is kept less than 1/10th of diaphragm thickness, and the maximum deflection is kept less than 1/4th of the separation gap to avoid pull-in.","PeriodicalId":178751,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Modeling of Systems Circuits and Devices (MOS-AK India)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125762964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the approximation further the perturbation term is derived analytically. The model also takes into account the non-iso-potential insulator-semiconductor interface in QGFET. The proposed model is mathematically simple and computationally efficient for implementation in a circuit simulator.

The mixed signal implementation of the TDC necessitates rigorous verification of the interaction between the digital and analog blocks. The paper discusses how the major analog circuits were reduced to logic level models in Verilog while retaining the required accuracy for faster top-level simulations. In order to facilitate quicker verification of the simulation results, a behavioral-level TDC model which has minimal common algorithm with the implemented system is developed. This model is used within self-checking testbenches to create a reference against which simulation results are validated. These modeling techniques enabled the automation of the verification process, thereby reducing the design verification time significantly. The simulation and verification of 600 test cases were completed in less than 9 hours, whereas the mixed signal simulation for a single test case would have taken several days to complete.","PeriodicalId":178751,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Conference on Modeling of Systems Circuits and Devices (MOS-AK India)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128036995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
