In order to keep up with global demand, microelectronics engineers are continually challenged to produce increasingly complex, high performance integrated circuits. The steady downscaling of MOSFET/CMOS technology has highlighted the need for a thorough understanding of the properties, potentials and limitations of the latest device models and technology. Presenting state-of-the-art MOSFET models, this book will prove a valuable reference and text for engineers striving to achieve first-time-right, reduced time-to-market silicon products. Featuring: *A complete survey of the CMOS device models used in modern analog and RF integrated circuit design. *A thorough treatment of the device modeling challenges faced by designers today. *An examination of the most commonly used MOSFET models, including BSIM4 and EKV. *A discussion of the modeling of process variations and device mismatch effects, along with device model quality assurance. *Two accompanying software packages, AIM-Spice and MOSCalc, available via the Internet. Bridging the gap between modeling and analog circuit design Device Modeling for Analog & RF CMOS Circuit Design will appeal to practicing microelectronics engineers and senior and graduate level students following courses in analog integrated circuit design.

A detailed guide to SPICE-oriented design and testing of electronic devices SPICE allows engineers to simulate individual semiconductor devices and electronic circuits and to perform the large number of different analyses needed for tasks such as verification of circuit designs and prediction of circuit performance. However, these simulations are only as good as the device models and parameters used in the simulations. Wrong models yield unreliable results. Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation links electronic device modeling to simulation of these devices using the SPICE program. Ideal as a reference for professional engineers or as a text for courses in semiconductor device modeling, it presents*A combination of background device physics and technology*A review of existing device models*A set of new and improved models compatible with the most advanced technology*Descriptions of device models and examples of circuit simulationsFollowing an introduction to SPICE, this book covers charge transport in semiconductors, two-terminal devices, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors, and advanced FET modeling. With its concentration on modeling and simulation, Introduction to Device Modeling and Circuit Simulation is the core book on SPICE-oriented semiconductor device modeling.
