Abstract:The design and optimization of (very-)high-speed integrated bipolar circuits requires accurate and physical transistor models. Since the obsolete but commonly used SPICE-Gummel/Poon model is often no longer suited for this task recently several improved models were proposed. In this paper the basic concepts of the most important new models are discussed with respect to their physical background and are compared in a uniform manner. Furthermore, an overview on the different approaches for modelling of the inter… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
