Analysis and Compact Modeling of Negative Capacitance Transistor with High ON-Current and Negative Output Differential Resistance—Part I: Model Description

摘要

We present an accurate and computationally efficient physics-based compact model to quantitatively analyze negative capacitance FET (NCFET) for real circuit design applications. Our model is based on the Landau–Khalatnikov equation coupled to the standard BSIM6 MOSFET model and implemented in Verilog-A. It includes transient and temperature effects, and accurately captures different aspects of NCFET. A comprehensive quasi-static analysis of NCFET in its different regions of operation is also performed using a simpler loadline approach. We also analyze the impact of ferroelectric and gate oxide thicknesses on the performance gain of NCFET over MOSFET.
