Abstract :
Compact models for emerging devices are being developed by different researchers. However, it is not easy to judge the model quality only from the corresponding publications. A `good´ compact model has to satisfy several requirements (including the models´ operability, convergence and runtime). A public platform which provides entries for different compact models, test suites to verify the models´ characteristics, as well as the interfaces for parameter extractions, will help standardizing the model developments. In this paper we analyze the compositions and requirements for such kind of platforms. i-MOS as the dedicated device compact model platforms is reviewed with its current status. The road ahead for i-MOS to fulfill all the requirements of a compact model standardization platform is also discussed.
