Abstract :
An overview of MOSFET modeling for circuit simulation is presented. After discussing some of the implications of analog and low-power applications, the history of the MOS models commonly used in SPICE-like circuit simulators is presented, followed by a discussion of the evolution of strategies for modeling the geometry dependence of MOSFET characteristics. The growth of complexity and requirements for future MOS models are also considered
