Abstract: The physical influence of temperature down to the cryogenic regime is analyzed in a comprehensive study and the comparison of IV and III-V Schottky barrier (SB) double-gate MOSFETs. The exploration is done using the Synopsys TCAD Sentaurus device simulator and first benchmarked with experimental data. The important device physics of both SB-MOSFETs and conventional MOSFETs are reviewed. The impact of temperature on device performance down to the liquid-nitrogen regime is then explored. We find reduced drive currents in SB-MOSFETs fabricated on small effective mass materials and that SB lowering can significantly improve SB-MOSFETs, especially at low temperatures [read more...]

Circuit-level simulation methodology for Random Telegraph Noise by using Verilog-AMS

2017 IEEE ICICDT, Austin, TX, USA, 2017, pp. 1-4.

doi: 10.1109/ICICDT.2017.7993526

Abstract: As device sizes are downscaled to nanometer, Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) becomes dominant. It is indespensable to accurately estimate the effect of RTN. We propose the RTN simulation method for analog circuits. It is based on the charge trapping model. We replicate the RTN-induced threshold voltage fluctuation to attach a variable DC voltage source to the gate of MOSFET by using Verilog-AMS. We confirm that drain current of MOSFETs temporally fluctuates. The fluctuations of RTN are different for each MOSFET. Our proposed method can be applied to estimate the temporal impact of RTN including multiple transistors. We can successfully replicate RTN-induced frequency fluctuations in 3-stage ring oscillators as similar as the measurement results [read more...]

Circuit Design and Simulation Project using eSim

Invitation to participate in Circuit Design and Simulation Project using eSim

The FOSSEE (Free and Open Source Software for Education) project based at lIT Bombay has initiated a Circuit Design and Simulation Project using esim (an open source EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design).

Interested candidates can take any solved electronic circuit from any source and redesign it using eSim and submit it to us. Candidates will be rewarded with certificates and honorarium after a review process. These circuits will also be published on our website under an appropriate open source license.
