A Compact MOSFET Model for Circuit Simulation


Abstract

This paper presents a physically based model for the MOS transistor suitable for design and simulation of integrated circuits. The static and dynamic characteristics of the MOSFET are accurately described by single-piece functions of the inversion charge densities at source and drain. A new compact approach for saturation is presented. Several examples of electrical simulations compare the performances of our model and widely used MOSFET models.
