PSP-SOI: An advanced surface potential based compact model of partially depleted SOI MOSFETs for circuit simulations

Abstract: This paper reports recent progress in partially depleted (PD) SOI MOSFET modeling using a surface potential based approach. The new model is formulated within the framework of the latest industry standard bulk MOSFET model PSP. In addition to its physics-based formulation and scalability inherited from PSP, PSP-SOI captures SOI specific effects by including floating body simulation capability, parasitic body currents and capacitances. A nonlinear body resistance model is included for accurate characterization and simulation of body-contacted SOI devices. The PSP-SOI model has been verified using test data from 90nm to 65nm PD/SOI processes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
