Modeling of Transistor's Tracking Behavior in Compact Models

Modeling of Transistor's Tracking Behavior in Compact Models

We present a novel method to model the tracking behavior of semiconductor transistors undergoing across-chip variations in a compact Monte Carlo model for SPICE simulations and show an enablement of simultaneous 𝑁(𝑁−1)/2 tracking relations among 𝑁 transistors on a chip at any poly density, any gate...
