questions about BSIM4 gate resistance model
Aug 13th, 2009, 7:56pm
 
Hi there,

It provides four options to model gate resistance. The 3rd and 4th options consider channel NQS effect, but I am not sure about what's exactly the difference? Therefore, I don't know how to choose between these two.

Actually, I am doing a simple noise analysis on a common-source amplifier. These two options give much difference noise voltage from gate resistance as a whole.

Thanks

rgatemod=2 and 3 have two resistances, a constant "electrode" resistance (for the contact) and a variable resistance.  rgatemod=2 computes the effective series resistance and adds a single extra node to the circuit matrix.  rgatemod=3 add two extra nodes, keeps the two resistors separate, and also connects the overlap capacitances (CGSO, CGDO, and I think CGBO) to the point in the middle of the two resistors.  I believe the argument is this is more accurate, but perhaps not worth the extra matrix row (which can make for a large matrix in big circuits).

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
