BSIM models• Non-uniform charge density• Band bending due to non-uniform gate voltage• Non-uniform threshold voltage

– Non-uniform channel doping, x, y, z– Short channel effects

• Charge sharing• Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL)

– Narrow channel effects– Temperature dependence

• Mobility change due to temp, field (x, y)• Source drain, gate, bulk resistances

Page 29: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

“Short Channel” Effects

• VTH decreases for small L

– Large offset for diff pairs with small L

• Mobility reduction:– Velocity saturation

– Vertical field (small tox=6.5nm)

– Reduced gm: increases slower than root-ID

Page 30: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Threshold Voltage VTH

• Strong function of L– Use long channel for VTH matching

– But this increases cap and decreases speed

• Process variations– Run-to-run– How to characterize?– Slow/nominal/fast– Both worst-case & optimistic

Page 31: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Effect of Velocity Saturation

• Velocity ≈ mobility * field

• Field reaches maximum Emax

– (Vgs-Vt)/L reaches ESAT

• gm become saturated:– gm ≈ ½nCoxW*ESAT

• But Cgs still 2/3 WL Cox

• T ≈ gm/Cgs = ¾ nESAT /L

• No longer ~ 1/L^2

Page 32: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Threshold Reduction• When channel is short, effect of Vd extends to S• Cause barrier to drop, i.e. Vth to drop• Greatly affects sub-threshold current: 26 mV Vth

drop current * e• 100~200 mV Vth drop due to Vd not uncommon

100s or 1000 times current increase

• Use lower density active near gate but higher density for contacts

Page 33: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Other effects• Temperature variation• Normal-Field Mobility Degradation• Substrate current

– Very nonlinear in Vd

• Drain to source leakage current at Vgs=0– Big concern for static power

• Gate leakage currents– Hot electron– Tunneling – Very nonlineary

• Transit Time Effects

Page 34: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Consequences for Design • SPICE (HSPICE or Spectre)

– BSIM3, BSIM4 models– Accurate but inappropriate for hand analysis– Verification (& optimization)

• Design:– Small signal parameter design space:

• gm, CL (speed, noise)

• gm/ID, ID (power, output range, speed)

• Av0= gmro (gain)

– Device geometries from SPICE (table, graph);

– may require iteration (e.g. CGS)

Electronic Noise• Noise phenomena• Device noise models• Representation of noise (2-ports):

– Motivation– Output spectral density– Input equivalent spectral density– Noise figure– Sampling noise (“kT/C noise”)

• SNR versus Bits• Noise versus Power Dissipation

– Dynamic range– Minimum detectable signal

Page 37: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Noise in Devices and Circuits

•Noise is any unwanted excitation of a circuit, any input that is not an information-bearing signal.• External noise: Unintended coupling with other parts of the physical world; in principle, can be virtually eliminated by careful design.• Intrinsic noise: Unpredictable microscopic events inherent in the device/circuit; can be reduced, but never eliminated. •Noise is especially important to consider when designing low-power systems because the signal levels (typically voltages or currents) are small.

Page 38: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Noise vs random process variations

• random process variations– Variations from one device to another– For any device, it is fixed after fabrication

• Noise– Unpredictable variations during operation– Unknown after fabrication– Remains unknown after measurement during

operation– May change with environment

Types of “Noise” • “man made”

– Interference– Supply noise– …– Use shielding, careful layout, isolation, …

• “intrinsic” noise– Associated with current conduction– “fundamental” –thermal noise– “manufacturing process related” – flicker noise

Page 54: CMOS Device Model Objective –Hand calculations for analog design –Efficiently and accurately simulation CMOS transistor models –Large signal model –Small.

Thermal Noise • Due to thermal excitation of charge carriers in a

conductor. It has a white spectral density and is proportional to absolute temperature, not dependent on bias current.

• Random fluctuations of v(t) or i(t)• Independent of current flow• Characterization:

– Zero mean, Gaussian pdf– Power spectral density constant or “white” up to about

80THz
