A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch Jul 2012

A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch

Bradley Minch

We present a physically based, continuous analytical model for long-channel double-gate MOSFETs. The model is particularly well suited for implementation in circuit simulators due to the simple expressions for the current andthe continuous nature of the derivatives of the current which improves convergence behavior.

Low Voltage And Performance Tunable Cmos Circuit Design Using Independently Driven Double Gate Mosfets, Arvind Kumar, Bradley Minch, Sandip Tiwari

Independently driven double-gate MOSFETs (DGFETs) facilitate design of analog circuits under digital logic constraints and provide in-circuit parameter adaptability through threshold voltage control. Threshold voltagetuning is achieved by biasing one of the two gates where as strong coupling of surface potentials at the two interfaces provides a low resistance feedback path. The geometry also allows a back-floating gate NVRAM structure with superior scalability and floating gate related analog applications without any read disturbance. This paper gives examples across breadth of circuits where this tunability is exploited.
