MOS31 JFET/MOSFET Model Now Available in SmartSpice

Introduction

Silvaco now offers the MOS31 JFET/MOSFET model originally developed by Philips [1] as part of the SmartLib product-independent model library. This model is available within SmartSpice as level 31.

The MOS31 JFET/MOSFET model is an integral part of a high voltage MOS macro-model. This long channel JFET/MOSFET model has been especially developed to describe the lightly doped drift region of LDMOS, EPMOS and VDMOS devices. Both vertical and lateral versions of DMOS exist. The vertical device has the greater current-carrying capability and is mainly used as a discrete device in high-power applications. The lateral type serves as an output driver in high-voltage and power ICs.
