  • Abstract
    A modelling process which includes both model minimisation and a parameter extraction is developed to obtain the best simulation speed while maintaining accuracy. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by its application to the modelling of a transistor. Significant simulation time saving is observed and the simulation accuracy is adequately maintained.
