  • Abstract
    In this work we present the QM charge redistribution effects in transistors on some circuit performance metrics such as delay and average power dissipation. The correction factors due to QM effects have been incorporated into the input variables of BSIM parameter extractor. The circuit performance effects of random dopant induced threshold voltage fluctuations are also presented. Monte Carlo methods have been utilized to analyze the circuit effects of these fluctuations.
