New Binning Routine

The “Binning” routine in UTMOST III MOS module has been greatly enhanced. The bin models can be generated much faster and the routine requires less user interface.

The binning methodology is used when a single scaleable model can not fit all geometries. For such cases a single model is extracted for each geometry and binning methodolgy is applied to generate “L”, “W” and “P” term parameters. Four single geometry models are used to generate one bin model. The continuity between the bin models are guaranteed by using the parameters LMIN, LMAX, WMIN, WMAX, LREF and WREF.

The user can enter the number of bins and each bin’s geometry information (W, L, Wref and Lref) in the new binning routine’s “Model Binning Setup Screen” (Figure 1.).
