Arbeitskreis Modellierung von Systemen und Parameterextraktion 
Modeling of Systems and Parameter Extraction Working Group
Spring'18 MOS-AK Workshop
Munich, March 13, 2018


The MOS-AK Compact Modeling Association, a global compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization forum, held its Spring compact/SPICE workshop in Munich. The event was hosted on March 13, 2018, by Infineon Technologies AG in Neubiberg. The technical program of the event was coordination by Klaus-Willi Pieper, Infineon, and the MOS-AK TPC Committee. The workshop has received full industrial sponsorship by Infineon Technologies AG (lead sponsor) with technical program promotion provided by ASCENT Network, Keysight Technologies, IJHSES as well as NEEDS of nanoHUB.org

The MOS-AK workshop was opened by Klaus-Willi Pieper, Principal Compact Modeling Smart Power Devices at Infineon, who has welcomed all the attendees and shared Infineon view on the compact modeling and its importance in the TCAD/EDA modeling/design ecosystem. 

A group of 40+ international academic researchers and modeling engineers attended 10 technical compact modeling presentations covering full development chain from the nanoscaled technologies thru semiconductor devices modeling to advanced IC design support. The MOS-AK speakers have shared their latest perspectives on compact/SPICE modeling and Verilog-A standardization in the dynamically evolving semiconductor industry and academic R&D. The event featured advanced technical presentations covering compact model development, implementation, deployment and standardization covering full engineering R&D chain: TCAD/processing, device modeling, transistor level IC design support. These contributions were delivered by leading academic and industrial experts, including: [1] Klaus-Willi Pieper, Overview of the Compact Modeling at Infineon; [2] James Ma et al, Advanced Fast on-wafer Low-frequency Noise Measurement with High Resolution, Wide Bandwidth and Large Biasing Current Range; [3] Volker Gloeckel, Advances in Statistical Compact Modeling; [4] Markus Becherer, et al, Compact Modeling of Nanomagnetic Logic Devices and Circuits; [5] Gražvydas Žiemys, Devices for Nanomagnetic Logic; [6] Paul Roseingrave, Modelling Emerging Devices through EU ASCENT Network; [7] Jushan Xie, How Is CMC Standard Model Implemented and Verified In Simulator?; [8] Maria Cotorogea et al, Virtual Prototyping for Power Diode and IGBT Development; [9] Franz Sischka, et al, Modeling of Device Aging - Example: Diode; [10] Katja Puschkarsky, Device Aging Simulations Enabling Circuit Optimizations; [11] Fabio A.

ENBIOS-2D Lab

Abstract: ENBIOS-2D Lab is a tool to illustrate and to study simple Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor structures in two dimensions. Together with its companion tool ENBIOS-1D Lab, it is meant for use as a teaching tool in support of undergraduate or graduate courses on the basic physics of transduction in ion and particle sensors, and to assist early stage researchers getting familiar with some basic concepts in the field. At the present stage, ENBIOS-2D Lab supports simulation and visualization of DC I-V characteristics, impedance/admittance spectra as well as DC and AC potential/carrier/ion distributions in simple two-dimensional ISFET structures. A broader set of case studies will become available with future releases of the tool. The companion ENBIOS-1D Lab tool offers the possibility to simulate simple Electrolyte/Insulator/Semiconductor systems in one-dimension. The physical system is modelled with the Poisson/Boltzmann (DC) and Poisson/Nernst/Planck - Poisson/Drift/Diffusion (AC small signal) equations coupled to the site-binding charge model equations at the Electrolyte/Insulator interfaces. Dedicated models are implemented for the frequency and salinity dependence of the electrolyte electrical permittivity and the temperature dependence of the ions' mobility (in water solvent). ENBIOS-2D Lab is powered by ENBIOS, (Electronic Nano-BIOsensor Simulator), a general purpose three-dimensional Control Volume Finite Element Method (CVFEM) simulator developed in-house at the University of Udine - Italy. ENBIOS simulates in three dimensions (3D) the DC and AC small signal impedance response to ions and micro/nanoparticles of three-dimensional devices made of semiconductor, insulator and electrolyte materials.

Abstract: A compact model applicable for both Schottky barrier diode (SBD) and junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS) structures is developed. The SBD model considers the current due to thermionic emission in the metal/semiconductor junction together with the resistance of the lightly doped drift layer. Extension of the SBD model to JBS is accomplished by modeling the distributed resistance induced by the p+ implant developed for minimizing the leakage current at reverse bias. Only the geometrical features of the p+ implant are necessary to model the distributed resistance. Reproduction of 4H-SiC SBD and JBS current–voltage characteristics with the developed compact model are validated against two-dimensional (2D) device-simulation results as well as measurements at different temperatures [read more: https://doi.org/10.7567/JJAP.57.04FR03]

Fig.: Electron current density in a JBS cross-section. JBS has a peak density at the n− region adjacent to the p+ implant.
