Parameter extraction on MOSFET transistors using a new optimised fit strategy

Abstract

Classical parameter-extraction programs rely on the minimisation of the relative current deviation. However, since, especially for analogue applications, the slope of the IDS/VDS curve in the saturation region is at least equally important, a new fit strategy has been developed. This new fit strategy extracts a parameter set which optimises the current residual as well as the slope residual at every point.
