Compact MOSFET Models for VLSI Design

Practicing designers, students, and educators in the semiconductorfield face an ever expanding portfolio of MOSFET models. InCompact MOSFET Models for VLSI Design , A. B. Bhattacharyyapresents a unified perspective on the topic, allowing thepractitioner to view and interpret device phenomena concurrentlyusing different modeling strategies. Readers will learn to linkdevice physics with model parameters, helping to close the gapbetween device understanding and its use for optimal circuitperformance. Bhattacharyya also lays bare the core physicalconcepts that will drive the future of VLSI development, allowingreaders to stay ahead of the curve, despite the relentlessevolution of new models.
