[paper] A Compact Model for the Statistics of the Low-Frequency Noise of MOSFETs With Laterally Uniform Doping

A Compact Model for the Statistics of the Low-Frequency Noise of MOSFETs With Laterally Uniform Doping

doi: 10.1109/TED.2017.2713301

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a compact physics-based statistical model for random telegraph noise-related low-frequency noise in bulk MOSFETS with laterally uniform doping. The proposed model is suited for modern compact device models, such as PSP, BSIM, and EKV. With our proposed model, one can calculate the expected value and the variability of the noise as a function of bias and device parameters. We validate the model through numerous experimental results from different CMOS nodes, down to 40 nm. [read more...]

Multiple Honors for E3S Theme Leader, Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu

(March 1, 2017) –   The Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science is proud to announce Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu has been named a newly elected member of the National Academy of Engineering. Prof. King Liu, who leads the E³S Nanomechanics theme was elected this year as one of only three members from UC Berkeley to this highest professional honor to an engineer. Last year in August, Prof. King Liu has also been chosen to serve on the Board of Directors at Intel Corporation. She was welcomed by Intel Chairman Andy Bryant: “[Prof. King Liu] brings a wealth of expertise in silicon technology and innovation that will be valuable for Intel in many areas as we navigate a significant business transition while continuing to lead in advancing Moore’s Law and harnessing its economic value.”In addition to this distinguished honor by Intel, last year the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) announced Prof. King Liu has been selected to receive the 2016 SRC Aristotle Award. This esteemed award was created by the SRC Board of Directors in March 1995 with the intent "to acknowledge outstanding teaching in its broadest sense, emphasizing student advising and teaching." Heartiest congratulations from the entire E³S community to Prof. King Liu for these prestigious honors!

[paper] Design Strategies for Ultralow Power 10nm FinFETs

Design Strategies for Ultralow Power 10nm FinFETs

Received 12 June 2017, Accepted 19 June 2017, Available online 20 June 2017

Abstract: In this work, new design strategies for 10nm node NMOS bulk FinFET transistors are investigated to meet low power (LP) (20pA/μm< I_OFF <50pA/μm) and ultralow power (ULP) (I_OFF <20pA/μm) requirements using three dimensional (3D) TCAD simulations. The punch-through stop implant, source and drain junction placement and gate workfunction are varied in order to study the impact on the OFF-state current (I_OFF), transconductance (g_m), gate capacitance (C_gg) and intrinsic frequency (f_T). It is shown that the gate length of 20nm for the 10nm node FinFET can meet the requirements of LP transistors and ULP transistors by source-drain extension engineering, punch-through stop doping concentration, and choice of gate workfunction.

[paper] Well-Posed Device Models for Electrical Circuit Simulation

Well-Posed Device Models for Electrical CircuitSimulation
A Guide to Creating Robust Device Models
A. Gokcen Mahmutoglu, Tianshi Wang, Archit Gupta and Jaijeet Roychowdhury
March 25, 2017

Synopsis: This document provides guidelines for creating computational device models that work well in simulation. We build our discussion around the mathematical notion of “well-posedness”. We show that the requirements for a model to be well-posed stem from the internal working mechanisms of simulators. Therefore, our main aim is to provide insight into the numerical procedures used by simulators in order to help model developers avoid ill-posedness issues. We start our discussion with an example that shows how an ill-posed Verilog-A model can produce different simulation results in different simulators. We then provide a step-by-step simulation case study. In this case study, we illustrate the role of device models in simulations by examining the steps a simulator goes through, from taking a netlist as input to producing a simulation result as output. Finally, we distill our discussion in a functional definition of a well-posed model. As an extension to our theoretical discussion, we also provide practical guidelines that should be followed by Verilog-A models in order to avoid ill-posedness issues [read more...]
