 A unified short-channel compact model for cylindrical surrounding-gate MOSFET   Original Research Article

Pages 40-46
Bastien Cousin, Marina Reyboz, Olivier Rozeau, Marie-Anne Jaud, Thomas Ernst, Jalal Jomaah

Research highlights

► A compact model of short-channel effects for GAA MOSFET has been developed. ► The model uses a well-known extraction method making the model simple and accurate. ► Each term is used in a model core in order to provide a short-channel correction. ► The compact model is well described and is suitable with circuit design tools. ► The model is validated using TCAD simulations for all gate lengths down to 10nm.

Alexei Koudymov



A surface potential based drain current model for asymmetric double gate MOSFETs   Original Research Article

Pages 148-154
Pradipta Dutta, Binit Syamal, N. Mohankumar, C.K. Sarkar

Research highlights

► We model a surface potential based drain current for asymmetric DG MOSFETs. ► The model is applicable for both heavily and lightly doped Silicon channel. ► The surface potential at both the gates are solved using proper Iterative techniques. ► The effect of volume inversion is shown in case of lightly doped channel.



 AlGaN/GaN hybrid MOS-HEMT analytical mobility model   Original Research Article

Pages 201-206
A. Pérez-Tomás, A. Fontserè

Research highlights

► The hybrid normally-off switch AlGaN/GaN MOS-HEMT combines two main advantages: ► The MOS gate control and the high 2DEG mobility in AlGaN/GaN drift region. ► Here, we present simple analytical modeling of the on-resistance of a hybrid MOS-HEMT. ► We investigate the layout, the MOS channel mobility, the effect of a high-k and the temperature. ► The model can aid to understand the device physics and is compatible with TCAD simulation packages.
