Source/Drain Bulk Junction Models

Junction Leakage Current

(-10)

where

(-11)

is the forward explosion voltage,

(-12)

is the conductance at VExpl, and

(-13)

is the linear extrapolated current at VBS(BD) = 0 from VExpl.

Bulk-Junction Bottom (Sidewall) Capacitance

(-14)

These equations also apply to the sidewall capacitances with pb and fc replaced by fcsw and pbsw. If fcsw is not given, fc is used. If pbsw is not given, pb is used.

Drain and Source Area

The drain and source areas are calculated in the order shown in the following equations:

(-15)

(-16)

The ld (length of drain) parameter is an instance parameter that is different from the model parameter ld (lateral diffusion) used in calculating Leff.

Drain and Source Perimeters

The drain and source perimeters are calculated in the order shown in the following equations:

(-17)

(-18)

The ld (length of drain) parameter is an instance parameter that is different from the model parameter ld (lateral diffusion) used in calculating Leff.

Drain and Source Squares

The number of drain and source squares is calculated in the order shown in the following equations:

(-19)

(-20)

Junction Saturation Current

is always overrides js. If you give js but not is, the saturation currents are calculated from js and the source and drain areas.

(-21)

(-22)

Junction Capacitance

cbs (cbd) always overrides cj. If you do not give cbs (cbd) and cj is specified, cbs (cbd) is calculated from cj and the source (drain) area.

(-23)

(-24)

Drain and Source Parasitic Resistance

For MSOFET models except EKV,

(-25)

(-26)

z

(-27)

For EKV,

(-28)

(-29)

The diffusion resistance depends on the value you specify for the maxrsd parameter.

(-30)

where

(-31)

(-32)

(-33)

For more information on the maxrsd parameter, refer to spectre -h bsim4.

Overlap Capacitance

(-34)

(-35)

(-36)

where
