Abstract :
Based on a new empirical mobility model which is solely dependent on V/sub gs/, V/sub t/ and T/sub ox/, a corresponding semiempirical I/sub dsat/ model for n-MOSFET including velocity saturation, mobility degradation due to increased vertical effective field, and source/drain series resistance of LDD structures is reported in this paper. A good agreement among the model and the measurement data from several different technologies is shown. Prediction of I/sub dsat/ for the future generations of device scaling and low-power applications by using this new model is presented.
