Compact Model

A continuous compact model for the drain current, including short-channel effects and carrier quantization in Double-Gate MOSFET is developed. The model is particularly well-adapted to ultra-scaled devices, with short channel lengths and ultra-thin silicon films. An extensive comparison step with 2D quantum numerical results fully validates the model. The model is also shown to reproduce with an excellent accuracy experimental

With devices entering the nanometer scale process-induced variations, intrinsic variations and reliability issues impose new challenges for the electronic design automation industry. Design automation tools must keep the pace of technology and keep predicting accurately and efficiently the high-level design metrics such as delay and power. Although it is the most time consuming, Monte Carlo is still the simplest and
