Common vs Independent DG MOSFET (2)
With IDG MOSFET the design space gets extended from 2D to 3D, which leads to novel circuit design possibilities e.g.,
1. High density reduced stack logic, IEEE T-ED 2006
2. Compact sequential circuit, IEEE T-ED 20063. Mixer, IEEE T-ED 20054. SRAM, IEEE EDL 2009

Development of indDG CoreSingle Implicit Equation Based IVE (1)
A Very Complex Problem
Requires Solution of COUPLED implicit equations which has DISCONTINUITY!!
Previous solution (Taur, and then Gildenblat)
SDG device has symmetric BC, that leads to additional implied BC (electric field =0 at y=0), which results in very simple trigonometric IVE

Development of indDG CoreSingle Implicit Equation Based IVE (2)
By indigenous handling of BC, we introduced single implicit equation based IVE that is 5x faster than coupled IVE.

Development of indDG CoreSolution technique for IVE (1)
Discontinuity @ G = 0 for both Trig and Hyp IVE
Singularity @ γ = π for Trig IVE
Conventional NR method doesn’t GUARANTEE convergence!!

Development of indDG CoreSolution technique for IVE (1)
• We use RBM (Root Bracketing Method) instead of NR-based method to achieve guaranteed convergence.
• We did a rigorous study of all RBMs available in the literatures (~20). And finally choose LZ4 technique (D. Le, ACM T-MS 1985) to solve the IVEs.
But RBM requires solution space….
So we need to solve ONE more implicit equation, to find the solution space for Trig/Hyp IVE. We do some smart optimization of solution space to improve overall computational efficiency.
And so we need to solve THREE implicit equations SEQUENCIALLY (one to choose mode, one to find solution space and finally the main IVE) to calculate the surface potential.

Development of indDG CoreThe Charge Model: Charge linearization Concept
As the exact solution of the integrals are not available ‘charge linearization’ techniques are introduced over the years to approximate F as quadratic function of surface potentials (or charge densities) so that closed form expressions for terminal charges are obtained.

Development of indDG CoreThe Charge Model : The NLF Factor
To approximate F as quadratic function of ψ1 or ψ2 (Qi1 or Qi2 ), they should hold linear-relationship along the channel for a given bias condition.

Development of indDG CoreThe Charge Model: Piecewise Linearization Technique
We segment the channel, so that for each segment ψ1 holds linear relationship with ψ2 so that conventional charge linearization technique could be applied to formulate the Terminal Charges.

Development of indDG CoreThe Charge Model: Comparison of linearization
• indDG charge model is based on the relationship of the surface potentials
• It is derivative free and thus numerically robust
![Page 14: indDG: A New Model for Independent Double-Gate MOSFET](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816723550346895ddbadec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SDG with small Tox asymmetry (indDG-c)
• There will always be some amount of asymmetry between the gate oxide thicknesses due to process variation and uncertainties
• indDG-c handles the asymmetry as it is based on the relationship between surface potential (which is linear for this case)
• We use an accurate analytical approximation of surface potential by novel perturbation technique

Tri Gate Extension • Tri Gate MOSFET cannot be model like Bulk or DG as the 3D Poisson Equation
cannot be approximated as 1D Poisson for long channel cases.• Models for Tri Gate are developed on top of the planner DG Models
