Abstract: Correlated mobility fluctuations are considered in the physics-based carrier number fluctuation (ΔΝ) low-frequency noise (LFN) compact model of single-layer graphene field effect transistors (GFET) in the present study. Trapped charge density and Coulomb scattering coefficient ΔΝ LFN parameters are obtained after applying a parameter extraction methodology, adapted from conventional silicon technologies,to the linear ambipolar regions of GFETs. Appropriate adjustments are considered in the method according to GFETs’physical characteristics. Afterwards, Hooge mobility as well asseries resistance fluctuations LFN parameters can be extracted.The updated LFN model is validated with experimental data from various long and short-channel GFETs at an extendedrange of gate and drain bias conditions.

[paper] Noise Propagation and Statistic Variability in MOSFETs

Raphael Chatzipantelis, Loukas Chevas, Nikolaos Makris and Matthias Bucher
Noise Propagation and Statistic Variability in MOSFETs Using Probability Density Functions
Fluctuation and Noise Letters (Accepted Paper)

Abstract: Probability density functions using stochastic methods are shown to be an effective tool in the context of MOSFET noise and variability modeling. These methods are employed here in the context of the charge-based EKV MOSFET model. As an example, a Gaussian noise density function applied at the gate or the source of a MOSFET causes a corresponding drain current noise density function, which may be expressed analytically as a function of inversion coefficient only. The same expression may be used to model drain current variability due to MOSFET parameters such as threshold voltage. Furthermore, the method is extended to variations of quantities such as transconductance and transconductance-to-current ratio. The method shows promise in variability modeling of MOSFETs and may complement traditional approaches.
FIG: Comparing the traditional ”small-signal” transconductance method with the stochastic PDF method for 𝑖𝑓, derived from the charge-based model, where in both cases the same noise (or variability) at the gate is applied (𝑉𝐺= 87mV, 𝜎𝑉𝐺=10mV), centered at 𝑖𝑓=2, showing slightly different mean and ±3𝜎 values, while the tail distributions differ significantly.

[semiwiki] Revolution EDA

Revolution EDA: A New EDA Mindset for a New Era
by Semiwiki Admin in Category: EDA on 11-17-2025 at 6:00 am

Key Takeaways
  • Revolution EDA introduces an open-source core platform inspired by Visual Studio Code, allowing rapid development and integration with modern machine learning workflows.
  • The platform uses JSON for design data storage, making it AI-readable and eliminating data format friction, which contrasts with traditional binary databases.
  • Revolution EDA provides a complete front-end design environment with advanced schematic and layout editors, incorporating Python for dynamic functionalities.

Murat Eskiyerli, PhD, is the founder of Revolution EDA  with the tagline “A new EDA mindset for a new era.”  The revolution won’t happen overnight. But it has to start somewhere [ read more...
