BSIM Compact Model of Quantum Confinement in Advanced Nanosheet FETs

TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a compact model for nanosheet FETs that takes the effects of quantum confinement into account, and implemented it using Verilog-A in the BSIM-CMG framework for all simulations.
Abstract
We propose a compact model for nanosheet FETs that take the effects of quantum confinement into account. The model captures the nanosheet width and thickness dependence of the electrostatic dimension, density of states, effective mass, subband energies, and threshold voltages and includes them in the charge calculation, resulting in an accurate terminal charge and current characteristics. The model has been implemented using Verilog-A in the BSIM-CMG framework for all simulations. It has been validated with band-structure calculation-based TCAD simulations as well as measured data. We have also highlighted the significance of quantum mechanical effects on analog and RF performance of the device.
