The enhancement followed the same device topology adopted in the BSIM3 NQS model with the addition of a unified equation for the transient gate and substrate current in both the accumulation and inversion operation region. During strong inversion, the existing relaxation time approach is used to model the NQS effect, while in the accumulation region, the MOS transistor behavior is like a MOS capacitor without the source and drain region. The dynamic conversion among the accumulation, depletion and inversion charges is modeled to give the transient substrate and gate current. The enhancement has been implemented in the newly released BSIM3 version 3.2, and comparison has been made with results obtained from a 2-D device simulator. The time penalty for using the new enhancement is about 18% more than the original model.","PeriodicalId":342844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1999 IEEE Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

The voltage noise power spectra, S/sub v/(f), were found to be proportional to 1/f/sup /spl gamma// where /spl gamma/ depends on the device temperature as well as the gate bias. Study of S/sub v/(f) as a function of the biasing condition was conducted in detail and were found to vary as V/sub G//sup 2//(V/sub G/-V/sub T/)/sup /spl beta// where /spl beta/ is a function of temperature. Analyses of the data showed that the noise originated from thermal activation of carriers to localized states in the channel area. The experimental data indicated that number fluctuations was not a major factor in the observed noise. However, more work is needed to determine if surface mobility fluctuations played a key role in the 1/f noise.","PeriodicalId":342844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1999 IEEE Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.
