Process for the Selection of the Next Generation SOI MOSFET Compact Models

The Compact Modeling Council (CMC) is carrying out Process for the Selection of the Next Generation SOI MOSFET Compact Models.

The CMC is going to select SOI models for both partially-depleted (PD) and dynamic depletion (DD) applications. DD refers to SOI devices which exhibit PD behavior forsome bias regions, but are fully-depleted (FD) for others.

The selected model developers presented their models in the to the CMC Meeting in Boston, MA on 6/5/2008.

The selected developers were : PSP-SOI-PD (for PD SOI), HiSIM SOI (for PD/DD SOI), XSIM (for DD SOI), ULTRA-SOI (for DD SOI) and PSP-SOI-DD

OKIsemi is sponsoring HiSIM SOI, FSL is sponsoring PSP-SOI-DD and IBM is sponsoring PSP-SOI-PD.

Developers are currently carrying out the required tests.
