Analytic Charge Model for Surrounding-Gate MOSFETs

Abstract
This paper presents an analytic charge model for surrounding-gate MOSFETs. Without the charge sheet approximation, the model is based on closed-form solution of Poisson's equation, current continuity equation, and Ward-Dutton linear charge partition. It continuously covers all the operation regions, i.e., linear, saturation, and subthreshold, with unique analytic expressions. The physics-based nature makes this model free of fitting parameters and hence predictive. In addition, it is inherently not source-referenced to avoid asymmetries. It is shown that the current-voltage characteristics generated by this model agree with the numerical simulation results
