    [paper] Modeling of Nonlinear Thermal Effects in BJT

    Analytical Modeling and Numerical Simulation of Nonlinear Thermal Effects in Bipolar Transistors
    D'Alessandro, Vincenzo, Ciro Scognamillo, Antonio Pio Catalano, Markus Müller, Michael Schröter, Peter J. Zampardi, and Lorenzo Codecasa
    28th THERMINIC (2022), pp. 1-7. IEEE, 2022
    DOI: 10.1109/THERMINIC57263.2022.9950637

    Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of modeling nonlinear thermal effects in bipolar transistors under static conditions. The impact of these effects on the thermal resistance is explained in detail and analytically modeled using the assumption of a single-semiconductor device. FEM thermal simulations of high-frequency transistors are performed to evaluate the accuracy of the single-semiconductor theory and of the thermal resistance formulations currently employed in the most popular compact transistor models. It is shown that these models do not correctly account for nonlinear thermal effects. Various implementations of the more accurate single-semiconductor theory are then suggested for their future releases.

    [paper] Quasi-Fermi-Based Charge Transport Scheme for Device Simulation in Cryogenic

    Quasi-Fermi-Based Charge Transport Scheme for Device Simulation 
    in Cryogenic, Wide-Band-Gap, and High-Voltage Applications
    Zlatan Stanojevic, Senior Member, IEEE, Jose Marıa Gonzalez-Medina, Member, IEEE, 
    Franz Schanovsky, Member, IEEE, Markus Karner, Member, IEEE
    TechRxiv. Preprint (2022) 
    DOI:10.36227/techrxiv.21132637.v2 

    Abstract: We present a novel approach to solving the transport problem in semiconductors. We reformulate the drift-diffusion equations in terms of the quasi-Fermi-energies as solution variables; a drastic increase in numerical stability is achieved, which permits the simulation of devices at cryogenic temperatures as well as wide-band-gap devices using double precision arithmetic, instead of extended precision arithmetic which would otherwise be required to solve these applications using regular drift-diffusion.
    FIG: MOSFET transfer characteristics from 300K down to 4K simulated using FVM/SG/QFT at VDS=0.8V; despite only relying on double precision arithmetic, FVM/SG/QFT is capable of calculating contact currents down to 1e-310A.
