BSIM-Bulk MOSFET Model for IC Design - Digital, Analog, RF and High-Voltage (eBook)

Chenming Hu is Distinguished Chair Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley. He was the Chief Technology Officer of TSMC and founder of Celestry Design Technologies. He is best known for developing the revolutionary 3D transistor FinFET that powers semiconductor chips beyond 20nm. He also led the development of BSIM-- the industry standard transistor model that is used in designing most of the integrated circuits in the world. He is a member of the US Academy of Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Science, and Academia Sinica. His honors include the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award, IEEE Andrew Grove Award and Solid Circuits Award as well as Nishizawa Medal, and UC Berkeley's highest honor for teaching-- the Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award.

BSIM-Bulk MOSFET Model for IC Design - Digital, Analog, RF and High-Voltage provides in-depth knowledge of the internal operation of the model. The authors not only discuss the fundamental core of the model, but also provide details of the recent developments and new real-device effect models. In addition, the book covers the parameter extraction procedures, addressing geometrical scaling, temperatures, and more. There is also a dedicated chapter on extensive quality testing procedures and experimental results. This book discusses every aspect of the model in detail, and hence will be of significant use for the industry and academia. Those working in the semiconductor industry often run into a variety of problems like model non-convergence or non-physical simulation results. This is largely due to a limited understanding of the internal operations of the model as literature and technical manuals are insufficient. This also creates huge difficulty in developing their own IP models. Similarly, circuit designers and researcher across the globe need to know new features available to them so that the circuits can be more efficiently designed. Reviews the latest advances in fabrication methods for metal chalcogenide-based biosensors Discusses the parameters of biosensor devices to aid in materials selection Provides readers with a look at the chemical and physical properties of reactive metals, noble metals, transition metals chalcogenides and their connection to biosensor device performance
