Abstract: A simple, accurate MOSFET substrate current model suitable for a circuit simulator is presented. The effect of substrate bias on substrate current is modeled without introducing additional parameters. The accuracy of this model is demonstrated by its ability to fit the experimental data for both standard and LDD devices with average errors of less than 6%. The new model is compared with the substrate current models reported in the literature. In addition, the temperature dependence of the substrate current in the range of 0-120 degrees C is also modeled. The new model has been implemented in a circuit-level hot-electron reliability simulator, and the results obtained from simulation of an inverter circuit are presented. >
