LEVEL 60 UC Berkeley BSIM3-SOI DD Model

The UC Berkeley SOI model (BSIM3SOI) supports Fully Depleted (FD), Partially Depleted (PD), and Dynamically Depleted (DD) SOI devices.

BSIM3DD2.2 for DD SOI devices is now installed in Star-Hspice as LEVEL 60.

This model is described in the "BSIM3DD2.1 MOSFET MODEL User's Manual," which can be found at

http://www-device.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bsim3soi.

In BSIM3DD2.1, many advanced concepts are introduced to allow transition between PD and FD operation dynamically and continuously, namely the Dynamic Depletion approach.

Model Features

Syntax

The general syntax for including a BSIM3SOI MOSFET element in a Star-Hspice netlist is:

General Form

Mxxx nd ng ns ne <np> mname <L=val> <W=val> <M=val> <AD=val> <AS=val>
+ <PD=val> <PS=val> <NRD=val> <NRS=val> <NRB=val> <RTHO=val> <CTHO=val> 
+ <off> <BJToff=val> <IC=Vds, Vgs, Vbs, Ves, Vps>

where the angle brackets indicate optional parameters.

 

The arguments are as follows:

 

Mxxx

SOI MOSFET element name. Must begin with M, which can be followed by up to 1023 alphanumeric characters

nd

Drain terminal node name or number

ng

Front gate node name or number

ns

Source terminal node name or number

ne

mname

MOSFET model name reference

L

SOI MOSFET channel length in meters. This parameter overrides DEFL in an OPTIONS statement

Default=DEFL with a maximum of 0.1m

W

SOI MOSFET channel width in meters. This parameter overrides DEFW in an OPTIONS statement

Default=DEFW with a maximum of 0.1m

M

Multiplier to simulate multiple SOI MOSFETs in parallel. All channel widths, diode leakages, capacitances and resistances are affected by the setting of M

Default=1

AD

Drain diffusion area. Overrides DEFAD in the OPTIONS statement

Default=DEFAD

AS

Default=DEFAS

PD

NRD

Number of squares of drain diffusion for drain series resistance. Overrides DEFNRD in the OPTIONS statement

NRS

Number of squares of source diffusion for source series resistance. Overrides DEFNRS in the OPTIONS statement

NRB

Number of squares for body series resistance

RDC

Additional drain resistance due to contact resistance with units of ohms. This value overrides the RDC setting in the model specification

Default =0.0

RSC

Additional source resistance due to contact resistance with units of ohms. This value overrides the RDC setting in the model specification

Default=0.0

RTHO

Thermal resistance per unit width

  • If not specified, RTHO is extracted from the model card
  • If specified, it will override the one in the model card

CTHO

Thermal capacitance per unit width

  • If not specified, CTHO is extracted from the model card
  • If specified, it will override the one in the model card

OFF

Sets initial condition to OFF for this element in DC analysis

BJTOFF

Turns off BJT if equal to 1

IC

Initial guess in the order (drain, front gate, internal body, back gate, external voltage). Vps will be ignored in the case of 4-terminal device. These are used when UIC is present in the .TRAN statement and are overriden by the .IC statement

Model Parameter Notes

nI-1

Capmod 0 and 1 do not have the dynamic depletion calculation. Therefore, ddMod does not work with capmod .

nI-2

BSIMSOI refers substrate to the silicon below buried oxide, not the well region in BSIM3. It is used to calculate backgate flatband voltage (V fbb ) and parameters related to source/drain diffusion bottom capacitance (V sdth , V sdfb , C sdmin ). Positive n sub means the same type of doping as the body and negative n sub means opposite type of doping.

nC-1

If cgso is not given then it is calculated using:

if ( dlc is given and is greater than 0) then,
cgso=pl=(dlc*cox)-cgs1
 
if (the previously calculated cgso<0), then
cgso=0
 
else cgso=0.6*Tsi*cox

For mobmod=1 and 2, the unit is m/V 2 . Default is -5.6E-11. For mobmod=3, unit is 1/V and default is -0.056.
