Unified Compact Model Covering Drift-Diffusion to Ballistic Carrier Transport

In this letter, we present a unified compact model, which accurately captures carrier transport from the drift-diffusion to ballistic regime. This is a single unified model, which accounts for carrier degeneracy effects in ballistic transport. The model is implemented into the industry standard compact models for FinFETs, fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) devices and bulk MOSFETs: 1) Berkeley Spice model for common multi-gate; 2) Berkeley Spice model for independent multi-gate; and 3) BSIM6. The model is validated with experimental data and TCAD simulations for FDSOI devices, FinFETs, and bulk MOSFETs.
