In paralleling the process technology and circuit design methodology, a compact model which serves as a link between the process technology and circuit design is strongly demanded. In this paper, we first review the FinFET process technology including SOI-FinFET and bulk-FinFET. Then a potential-based compact model is proposed to describe the electrical characteristics of the FinFET transistor. The model is verified by 2-D numerical simulation and is implemented into HSPICE simulator. Finally, the reliability issue of the FinFET device and circuit functions are illustrated and analyzed, which are important for the practical applications and circuit design.","PeriodicalId":356342,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120941855","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}

When unbounded waveguide is terminated by a finite PML, it gives rise to three classes of modes, i.e., propagation modes, leaky modes and Berenger modes (PML modes). The classical Modal Expansion Method only involves propagation modes and a continuous spectrum of radiation modes, but the infinite integral is sophisticated. In this paper, we study the validity of Modal Expansion Method with these three classes of modes. All the discrete modes of the finite PML-truncated waveguide are computed by the asymptotic approximation combining with the Chebyshev pseudospectral method.","PeriodicalId":356342,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129232205","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 addition, these mechanisms of devices were also evaluated experimentally by their microwave and power performance. For breakdown voltage mechanism investigation, the design of experiment (DOE) with 16 transistors was adopted, the FP length extension exhibited a high efficiency to improve off-state breakdown voltage (BVoff) due its high suppression ability to thermionic-field emission (TFE) of gate electrons. However, FP induced depletion region is difficult to suppress channel impact-ionization mechanism which dominated the on-state breakdown voltage (BVon). In addition, FP length extension is beneficial for improving device flicker noise caused by surface states and GR width extension shows an opposite trend because un-cap Schottky layer exposure area is also increased with longer GR width extension.","PeriodicalId":356342,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"387 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125997545","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}

Once the pulse width of the charging current is widening, the slope control unit increases the charge current linearly. It also ensures a better stability, a shorter locking time, and as a result, a low jitter is obtained. Two PLL circuits are simulated under the same conditions: the first one uses the slope current control and locks after less than 2us with a low rms jitter of 2.05ps, while the second classical PLL locks after 8 us with high jitter.","PeriodicalId":356342,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits (EDSSC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127917213","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}
