Abstract

This paper proposes a robust gate model based on a finite-point modeling scheme. With current source model (CSM) framework, a robust, finite-point gate model is constructed. The new model depends on the selective points of I-V curves of gates. Thus, it implicitly incorporates the variation related parameters into finite points. In addition, to provide good accuracy on output waveform, the new model creates the input and output capacitance elements as nonlinear dependency on input/output waveform and process variation parameters. Experimental results show that the generated gate model has less than 3.7% error at mean, less than 6.2% error at variance and less than 5.8% at 90% percentile for cumulative density functions (CDFs).
