Introduction

With the advent of ever increasing operation frequencies, Silvaco is introducing a new high frequency model for MOSFETs that will be implemented into the SmartSpice code. This article describing these new models will be in two parts. The first part describes the mathematical detail concerning the extraction of the “Y” parameters that contain the necessary frequency terms and part two, in the July issue, describes the conversion of the “Y” parameters into the required elements for the Spice model itself.
