Eddy currents play a major role and their effects are therefore accurately modeled. This is done by simulating the current distribution in the substrate and then fitting monomial equations to the results. The resulting model is scalable and does not need any fitting to measurements. The circuit describing the model is compact, which makes it easy to implement it in standard design tools. Excellent agreement to measurements is found for a wide range of inductors.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131609481","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}

In the HBT (as compared to the BJT), the largest reduction of the RF values of the spectral density of current fluctuations derives from the SJB and the SJBJE terms (22 % and 31 %, respectively). This is due to the fact that the base current in the HBT (mainly formed by holes crossing to the emitter) is strongly reduced as a consequence of the lower gap of the SiGe base. When studying the dc dependence of the different noise spectra, SJE(0), SJC(0) and SJEJC(0) undergo a pronounced rise in BJT and HBT as JC increases. However, the SJB(0) term can be neglected in the total noise analysis in the HBT for lower values of JC.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129889729","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}

The 2D simulation contours reveal that for BC PMOS devices, the corner filed crowding accelerates the depletion of holes in the BC near the STI top corner. Furthermore, the worsen segregation of counter-doped impurities near STI top corner leads to a higher magnitude of local threshold voltage associated with the corner devices.","PeriodicalId":354721,"journal":{"name":"30th European Solid-State Device Research Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128711054","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}
