K' value from Mosis test runs
Apr 10th, 2007, 8:40pm
 
Hi,
The K' value of IBM .18 um RF process is given at Mosis test run results in the following link
http://www.mosis.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/umosis/swp/params/ibm-018/t6cc_7rf_6lm_ml-p...

It is written over there that K'=Cox*u0/2 = 155.9 for NMOS transistor.
However when we calculate K' by using u0 (=270.6 & Cox~7.67 fF ) from spice model in same page it gives a different value.

1) Which K' should be used when doing hand calculations?

2) For a basic inverter the mobility difference could be compasated by making (W/L)p=2.3(W/L)n.
However here (if it's correct) K'n (=156) is almost 5 times larger than  K'p(=32.5). Is it a normal ratio for .18um process?

Thanks in advance

Hi, eng,

BSIM3 model is very complex and composed of many empirical equations. So don't calculate K' value based on the BSIM3 model parameters directly.

I think that you will get almost exact K' value of IBM .18 um RF process is given at Mosis test run results if you plot a I-V curve and extract the K' value using SPICE or Spectre.


Best regards,
Yawei
