Abstract

Variation of device performances is increasing according to aggressive scaling down of device sizes.  It is therefore urgently required to correctly and efficiently include the device variations into circuit simulations.  For realizing the requirement, an important task to model the variations accurately based on their physical origins.  Here we demonstrate that compact models based on the surface-potential description enable to realize accurate modeling of the variation in a similar way as 2D-device simulations.  HiSIM (Hiroshima-university STARC IGFET Model) is a circuit-simulation model which solves the Poisson equation explicitly for calculating the surface potential values.  The detailed modeling approach based on the surface-potential concept will be addressed.
