Abstract :
Most numerical MOS-simulators are based on Gummel´s nonlinear relaxation method, for which severe convergence problems arise above threshold. A new hierarchical approach for the numerical simulation of MOS-transistors (MOST´s) is presented, which overcomes these shortcomings resulting in an improvement of convergence speed of more than one order of magnitude.
