An accurate large-signal BSIM4 macro model including new empirical bias-dependent equations of the drain-source capacitance and channel resistance constructed from bias-dependent data extracted from S-parameters of RF MOSFETs is developed to reduce $S_{22}$-parameter error of a conventional BSIM4 model. Its accuracy is validated by finding the much better agreement up to 40 GHz between the measured and modeled $S_{22}$-parameter than the conventional one in the wide bias range.

This paper proposes a circuit extractor which extracts a netlist from the CIF input file cntaining the layout mask artwork informations. The circuit extractor extracts transistors and their interconnections, and calculates circuit parameter such as parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance from the mask informations. When calculating the parasitic resistance, we consider the current flow path to reduce the errors caused by the resistance approximation. Similarly, we consider the coupling capacitance which has an effect on the circuit characteristics, when the parasitic capacitances are calculated. Therefore, using these parameter values as an input to circuit simulation, the circuit characteristics such as delay time can be estimated accurately. The presented circuit extraction algorithm uses a multiple storage quad tree as a data sturucture for storing and searching the 2-dimensional geometric data of mask artwork. Also, the proposed algorithm is technologically independent to work across a wide range of MOS technologies without any change in the algorihm.

This paper reports a methodology and its application for extracting cell capacitances and parasitic capacitances in a stacked DRAM cell structure by a numerical technique. To calculate the cell and parasitic capacitances, we employed finite element method (FEM), The three-dimensional DRAM cell structure is generated by solid modeling based on two-dimensional mask layout and transfer data. To obtain transfer data for generating three-dimensional simulation structure, topography simulation is performed. In this calculation, an exemplary structure comprising 4 cell capacitors with a dimension of $2.25{\times}1.75{\times}3.45{\mu}m^3$, 70,078 nodes with 395,064 tetrahedra were used in ULTRA SPARC 10 workstation. The total CPU time for the simulation was about 25 minutes, while the memory size of 201MB was required. The calculated cell capacitance is 24.34fF per cell, and the influential parasitic capacitances in a stacked DRAM cell are investigated.

A new method is developed to extract model parameters of SiGe HBT equivalent circuit including the base impedance and base-collector junction capacitance. Using this method, all resistances and capacitances of SiGe HBT are independently determined from measured S-parameters using two-port parameter formula. This method is proposed to reduce possible errors generated from global optimization process, and its accuracy has been verified by finding good agreements between measured and modeled current / power gain up to 18 GHz.

This paper presents the accurate deembeding method for pad and parasitics of MOSFET device. rad effects are deembedded using THRU LINE, which is much simpler method without laborious fitting procedure compared with conventional OPEN and SHORT pad modeling. Parasitic resistance extraction uses the algebraic relation between increments of inversion layer charge and oxide capacitance. It is especially adequate for insulating gate junction device. Extracted parasitics are verified through comparing modeled and measured S parameters.

Using accurate MOSFET substrate parameters obtained by a RF direct extraction method, it is demonstrated that a BSIM4 model with only substrate resistances is not physically valid to apply in the wide range of gate length because of scaling inaccuracy. In order to remove the unphysical problem of the BSIM4, a modified BSIM4 model with additional dielectric substrate capacitance is used and its physical validity is verified by observing excellent gate length scalability.

Chip Pin Parasitic은 실제 Chip Pad에서부터 Bonding Wire를 통한 Package Lead Frame까지를 의미한다. 여기서, Lead Frame 및 Bonding Wire에서 Inductance 및 작은 저항이 보이고, Chip Pad에서의 Capacitance, 그리고 Pad 부터 Ground까지의 Return Path에서 발생하는 저항이 보인다. 이들을 모두 합하면 L, R, C의 Series로 나타낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 Chip Pin Parasitic을 추출 하기 위해서 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometer)과 NA(Network Analyzer)를 사용하였는데, TDR의 경우 PCB를 제작하여 Chip을 Board위에 붙인 후 Time Domain에서 측정 하였고 NA의 경우 Pico Probe를 이용하여 Chip pin에 직접 Probing해서 Smith Chart를 통하여 Extraction 값을 추출했다. 이 경우, NA를 이용한 측정이 좀 더 정확한 Parasitic 값을 추출할 수 있으리라 예상되겠지만, 실제로 Chip이 구동하기 위해서는 Board위에 있을 때의 상황도 고려해야 하기 때문에 TDR 추출 값과 NA 추출 값을 모두 비교하였다.

The static and dynamic model of IGBT for the SPICE simulation has been successfully developed. The various circuit model parameters are extracted from the I-V and C-V characteristics of IGBT and implemented into our model. The static model of IGBT consists of the MOSFET, bipolar transistor and series resistance. The parameters to be extracted are the threshold voltage of MOSFET, current gain $\beta$ of bipolar transistor, and the series resistance. They can be extracted from the measured I-V characteristics curve. The C-V characteristics between the terminals are very important parameters to determine the turn-on and turn-off waveform. Especially, voltage dependent capacitance are polynomially approximated to obtain the exact turn-on and turn-off waveforms. The SPICE simulation results employing new model agree well with the experimental values.

This paper describes the CIREX(CIRcuit EXtractor), an automated CMOS circuit extraction program which provides SPICE2 input file by computing circuit connectivity and transistor dimensions from the CIF file. The CIREX also computes parasitic capacitance and resistance which makes it a valuable tool for timing analysis and detailed circuit simulation. A lattice model is used to calculate the interconnection resistances and substrate capacitances which can be replaced, as an option, by a node model for the worst case timing analysis of the circuit.
