Abstract :
This paper proposes an empirical MOSFET model, supported by statistically significant data derived from measurements on test-structures. The model, due to its accuracy, can be useful in predicting “a priori” fabrication process tolerances on ICs performances and in carrying out a combined “process-circuit” performances optimization
