Spice Cmos Level-2, Level-4, and Bsim-Plus Model Files A SPICE CMOS LEVEL-2, LEVEL-4, AND BSIM-PLUS MODEL FILES Computer-aided design tools have become indispensable in the integrated­ circuit design. The SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Em­ phasis) program [1, 2] has been widely accepted for circuit analysis since its introduction a decade ago. Circuit simulation execution time has been substan­ tially reduced through algorithm improvement and hardware enhancements in the past few years. Device modeling plays an important role in VLSI circuit design because computer-aided circuit analysis results are only as accurate as the models used. The SPICE2G6.B and SPICE 3F.3 programs have provided six built-in MOS transistor models [3]-[10]. The LEVEL-1 model, which contains fairly simple expressions, is most suitable for preliminary analysis. The LEVEL-2 model, which contains expressions from detailed device physics, is widely used for the analysis of analog circuits. Its accuracy is quite limited when small-geometry transistors are used. The LEVEL-3 model represents an early attempt to pursue the semi-empirical modeling approach, which only approximates device physics and relies on the proper choice of the empirical parameters to accurately repro­ duce device characteristics. The LEVEL-4 model, which is also called BSIM (Berkeley Short-Channel IGFET Model), is ideal for the simulation of digital and analog circuits with effective channel lengths as small as 0.8 J.lm. The LEVEL-5 model, which supports more than 100 device parameters, requires special care to use and very elaborated parameter extraction. The LEVEL-6 model is based on the empirical nth power law and specially optimized for quick estimation of digital circuit behavior. In addition, the BSIM_plus model has been developed at University of Southern California. It is a greatly enhanced version over the original LEVEL-4 model. 513 514 ApPENDIX A The modeling equations for the LEVEL-2 model can be found in the books by P. Antognetti and G. Massobrio [11] and by D. Divekar [12]. A set of typical parameter values for the LEVEL-2 model is listed in Table A.I. These parameter values were extracted from a 2-J,Lm double-polysilicon p-well CMOS process. The test wafers were fabricated by Orbit Semiconductor Inc. through The MOSIS Service at USC/Information Sciences Institute.

    Full-wave Electromagnetic Modeling of Electronic Device Parasitics for Terahertz Applications Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yasir Karisan, B.S., M.S. Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Kubilay Sertel, Advisor Patrick Roblin Fernando L. Teixeira Gary Kennedy c Copyright by Yasir Karisan 2015 Abstract The unique spectroscopic utility and high spatial resolution of terahertz (THz) waves offer a new and vastly unexplored paradigm for novel sensing, imaging, and communication applications, varying from deep-space spectroscopy to security screen- ing, from biomedical imaging to remote non-destructive inspection, and from ma- terial characterization to multi-gigabit wireless indoor and outdoor communication networks. To date, the THz frequency range, lying between microwave and in- frared bands, has been the last underexploited part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum due to technical and economical limitations of classical electronics- and optics-based system implementations. However, thanks to recent advancements in nano-fabrication and epitaxial growth techniques, sources and sensors with cutoff frequencies reaching the submillimeter-wave (sub-mmW) band are now realizable. Such remarkable improvement in electronic device speeds has been achieved mainly through aggressive scaling of critical device features, such as the junction area for Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), and the gate length in high electron mobility tran- sistors (HEMTs). Such aggressively-scaled and refined device topologies can signif- icantly enhance the intrinsic device capabilities, however, the overall device perfor- mance is still limited by the parasitic couplings associated with device interconnect metallization.

This surely holds for digital circuit design as well. The basic building blocks in today’s digital circuits are the silicon semiconductor devices, more specifically the MOS transis- tors and to a lesser degree the parasitic diodes, and the interconnect wires. The role of the semiconductor devices has been appreciated for a long time in the world of digital inte- grated circuits. On the other hand, interconnect wires have only recently started to play a dominant role as a result of the advanced scaling of the semiconductor technology.

  • Neural-Based Models of Semiconductor Devices for SPICE Simulator

The proposed approach involves two steps, the modeling phase of the device by NN providing its input/output patterns, and the SPICE implementation process of the resulting model. Using the Taylor series expansion, a neural based small-signal model is derived. The reliability of our approach is validated through simulations of some circuits in DC and small-signal analyses.

  • Chapter II MOS Transistor Model and Layout Issues
    Chapter II MOS Transistor Modelling for MMW Circuits Chapter IIIIII MOS transistor model and layout issues One of the most important design issues in millimeter wave circuit design in modern MOS technologies is active devices and related parasitic elements modeling. The MOS transistor model that can be used in such high frequency must accurately comprise all of the unwanted parasitic effects that arise in high frequencies, as well as DC and low frequency characteristics. Professional circuit simulators and foundry design kits provide a complete environment for design, optimization and validation of different circuits, as well as layout tools. However due to many high frequency effects that arises in millimeter wave frequencies and have not been included in available RF design kits, millimeter wave circuit designers need to develop an individual simple design tool. This tools are used in pre-design analysis, design procedure and after-design diagnosis. Then the foundry design kit is used for final design evaluation and probably optimization, after some special considerations by the designer. In our work the problem is more sever, since the foundry design kit we are working with, is for 90 nm digital CMOS technology and does not provides any RF design facilities. Consequently we are obligated to develop our design and optimization tools, using the foundry design kit data and the foundry confidential Design Rule Manual (DRM). Then we should use the design kit with some special considerations for post-layout simulation and to evaluate the final design. Off course the parasitic extraction tools of the design kit are not useful for our work.

Device modeling for ESD conditions is necessary to evaluate ESD robustness in simulation. Although SPICE model is accurate and efficient for circuit simulations in most cases, devices under ESD conditions operate in abnormal status.

This paper shows that GaN-HEMTs can be modeled by selected equations from the standard MOSFET LEVEL 3 model in SPICE. A method is proposed for the extraction of SPICE parameters in these equations. The selected equations and the proposed parameter-extraction method are verified with measured static and dynamic characteristics of commercial GaN-HEMTs. Furthermore, a double pulse test is performed in LTSpice and compared to its manufacturer model to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MOSFET LEVEL 3 model. The advantage of the proposed approach to use the MOSFET LEVEL 3 model, in comparison to the alternative behavioral-based model provided by some manufacturers, is that users can apply the proposed method to adjust the parameters of the MOSFET LEVEL 3 model for the case of manufacturers who do not provide SPICE models for their HEMTs.
