History

April 2005: First PSP version (100.0) released. Created from– MOS Model 11 (Philips)– SP (Penn State)

December 2005: CMC elects PSP as “next generation compact MOSFET model” (i.e. successor of BSIM3/4)

June 2006: First CMC-standardized version (PSP 102.0) was released

Future: PSP extended to complete family of models– Bulk CMOS– Varactor– PD-SOI– FD-SOI– FinFETs– …

Model overview

PSP is a surface potential basedcompact MOSFET model, suitable for digital, analog and RF design

– non-uniform lateral/vertical doping– field-dependent mobility– velocity saturation– conductance effects (CLM, DIBL,

etc.)– series-resistance– short-channel effects (incl. RSCE)– narrow-width effects– gate poly-depletion– quantum-mechanical corrections

– overlap capacitances (ψs-based)– impact ionization current– gate leakage current– gate-induced drain/source leakage

(GIDL, GISL)– junction diode I-V and C-V (forward

and reverse)– diode reverse breakdown– noise (1/f, thermal, induced gate and

shot noise)– non-quasi-static effects– gate and bulk resistances– STI stress effect

Update PSP 102.0

Changes PSP 100.0 102.0– Binning– Improved Gummel symmetry (modified CLM-model and VB-clamping)– Replaced lateral gradient factor– More flexible geometry scaling– Improved mobility model (CS, FETA, scaling)– Improved forward bulk-bias behavior– BSIM-like instance parameters for JUNCAP2 (AS, AD, PS, PD)– Several minor improvements, bug fixes, and maintenance– October 2006: PSP 102.1 includes first C-implementation of NQS-model

Partly based on useful feedback by Jazz, Infineon, Freescale, STm, RFMD, Analog Devices, …

Gummel symmetry (i)

CMOS devices are symmetric w.r.t. source/drain

Imposed on the model by applying source/drain interchange

PSP NQS model (i)

Non-quasi static effects:it takes time for charge tomove trough the channel

– distributed effect– “memory” effect– continuity equation: dQ/dt ∝ dI/dx

Previously: channel segmentation (still good benchmark!)

PSP: spline collocation method (adopted from SP model)

No parameter fitting!
