“The Ugly Duckling,” New Fairy Tales

"The developments of UF process-based “compact” MOSFET models have been reviewed, and exemplary new physical insights on SOI devices attained with the models have been overviewed. Indeed, the UF models have been, and are effective research/education tools. The “ugly duckling” has prevailed, just like in the fairy tale (illustrated in Fig. 10) [19]!" J. G. Fossum

Operation and Modeling of the MOS Transistor

Yannis Tsividis and Colin McAndrew


New to this edition:

  • Energy bands and the energy barrier viewpoint are integrated into the discussion in a smooth, simple manner
  • Expanded discussion of small-dimension effects, including velocity saturation, drain-induced barrier lowering, ballistic operation, polysilicon depletion, quantum effects, gate tunneling current, and gate-induced drain leakage
  • Expanded discussion of small-signal modeling, including gate and substrate current modeling and flicker noise
  • New chapter on substrate nonuniformity and structural effects, discussing transversal and lateral (halo) doping nonuniformity, stress and well proximity effects, and statistical variability
  • A completely re-written chapter on modeling for circuit simulation, covering the considerations and pitfalls in the development of models for computer-aided design
  • Extensively updated bibliography
  • An accompanying website includes additional details not covered in the text, as well as model computer code

Post Doctoral Researcher / Research Engineer Position in Compact Modeling

The BSIM Group of Electrical Engineering Department at the University of California Berkeley is seeking to hire a bright candidate interested in compact model development/maintenance to join as a post doctoral researcher or research engineer. We are looking for a candidate with PhD (for post doctoral researcher) or Masters (for Research Engineer) degree in EE/Physics preferably for long term (4–5 years). The responsibilities include but not limited to
  • Research and development of new BSIM compact models
  • Maintenance and support of BSIM MOSFET compact models (BSIM4, BSIMSOI and BSIM-MG)
  • Interface with industry to understand requirements and issues with BSIM models and rectify them
  • C & Verilog-A coding and testing/debugging of models
Required skills
  • Excellent semiconductor device physics and process technology knowledge
  • Experience in computer programming (C and Verilog-A)
  • Knowledge of basic analog and digital circuit operation
BSIM Group encourages its members to represent it actively at conferences, workshops, and meetings. Interested applicants should submit their CV to bsimgroup@gmail.com
