Temperature Dependence (-55°°° to 150°°°)

SPMOS uses up to 13 temperature coefficients.×

Flat-band voltage: TK_VFB0, TK_VFBL, TK_VFBW, TK_VFBP.

Mobility: TK_MU0, TK_MUW, TK_MUL, TK_MUP, TK_MU1, TK_THM, TK_CS.

Saturation velocity: TK_VS, TK_AS.

Coefficients TK_VFBL, TK_VFBW, TK_VFBP, TK_MUL, TK_MUP and TK_AS are expected to be zero for mature processes.

The temperature dependence of bulk and surface potentials is not adjusted and is obtained essentially from the first principles. The temperature dependence of the flat-band voltage, mobility and saturation velocity is as follows. In these equations Tn is nominal temperature and
