Abstract: The microelectronics and nano-electronics industry strongly relies on compact models to reduce a new microelectronic product development costs. The goals of this review are to highlight critical issues for the development of compact models for microelectronics and nano-electronics. In this chapter, we’ve covered the main principles of the compact device modeling. Also discussed are the possibilities of integrating compact models into circuit simulation and design tools, with an emphasis on the Verilog-A standardization, which simplify model implementation into EDA tool.
