Abstract The main objective of this dissertation is to develop a circuit-level de current model for the MOS transistor. Special care is taken to the modeling of the transistors of non uniform doping. The model is to be used for analog and digital circuit design. This puts heavy demands on the accuracy provided by the model. The model is based on the representation of current transport in a sheet channel in terms of the surface potential conditions at the source and drain boundaries. The model is scaleable and results in continuous device characteristics under all operating conditions, from deep subthreshold to strong inversion. Accuracy of the model is demonstrated over a wide range of device geometries and terminal voltages. The features of scalability, continuity, and accuracy are attributed to the physical representation of all important effects occurring in the MOS transistor. The model is implemented under the circuit simulator ELDO using HDL-A language and can be used to simulate dc MOSFET circuits. Also we develop an automated measurements program works under LabVIEW software to characterize the MOS transistors, as well as an automated program to extract the model parameters from the measured characteris tics. |
