Compact Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond provides a modern treatise on compact models for circuit computer-aided design (CAD). Written by an author with more than 25 years of industry experience in semiconductor processes, devices, and circuit CAD, and more than 10 years of academic experience in teaching compact modeling courses, this first-of-its-kind book on compact SPICE models for very-large-scale-integrated (VLSI) chip design offers a balanced presentation of compact modeling crucial for addressing current modeling challenges and understanding new models for emerging devices.
Starting from basic semiconductor physics and covering state-of-the-art device regimes from conventional micron to nanometer, this text:
- Presents industry standard models for bipolar-junction transistors (BJTs), metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) field-effect-transistors (FETs), FinFETs, and tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs), along with statistical MOS models
- Discusses the major issue of process variability, which severely impacts device and circuit performance in advanced technologies and requires statistical compact models
- Promotes further research of the evolution and development of compact models for VLSI circuit design and analysis
- Supplies fundamental and practical knowledge necessary for efficient integrated circuit (IC) design using nanoscale devices
- Includes exercise problems at the end of each chapter and extensive references at the end of the book
Compact Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical and electronics engineering as well as for researchers and practitioners working in the area of electron devices. However, even those unfamiliar with semiconductor physics gain a solid grasp of compact modeling concepts from this book.
"A comprehensive book deeply rooted into the physics foundation of the devices being modeled… It convinces the reader, providing confidence in the inherently quite complex equations involved in compact modeling. Moreover, the inclusion of a chapter on process variability in miniaturized devices gives the entire book a deep sense of realism."
—Constantin Bulucea, IEEE Journal of Electron Devices Society (J-EDS)
"A comprehensive compendium on generic MOSFET compact modeling for both students and practitioners in electronic circuit design. … This text book provides a valueable insight of generic MOSFET compact modeling and is, thus, well suited for students in electronics engineering."
—Prof. Dr. Joachim Burghartz, Institute for Microelectronics Stuttgart (IMS CHIPS)
"This is an excellent book written in lucid language and covers almost all the topics related to modeling of MOS system both electrostatics and transport. It is useful for both beginners and experts in the field of compact modeling. Chapter 8 on statistical variability and chapter 12 on library will be definitely useful as these chapters are not covered in other books."
—Yogesh Singh Chauhan, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur
"The writing style of the author is very visual and transforms the material from sequential mathematical derivations into a usable mental image through precise descriptions of the device physics and model limitations."
—Bill Nehrer, PDF Solutions
"…is extremely timely and something the community has been waiting for.
This book is well written, with an in depth explanation of basic concepts as well as advanced topics. This would serve not only as an introductory text book on modeling for students but also as a good refresher book for experts working in the field. Personally, this is the book I have been waiting for, and would order one right away."
