  • Abstract
    A simple model is proposed to describe threshold and weak-inversion operation of the enhancement-mode MOSFET. The model has been tested against two-dimensional numerical simulations and gives accurate descriptions of transistor characteristics. The model possesses continuity of current and derivatives and is suitable for the CAD of low-voltage low-power CMOS integrated circuits.
