EXTRACTION OF GATE DEPENDENT SOURCE DRAIN RESISTANCE AND EFFECTIVE CHANNEL-LENGTH IN MOS DEVICES AT 77 K

A new extraction technique for obtaining the parasitic source/drain resistance and the effective channel length of an MOS device at 77 K is presented, Unlike previous methods, both parameters are assumed to vary with the gate voltage, This results in positive and physically meaningful results at any temperature, Simulation results show that, in non-LDD devices, the source/drain resistance decreases and the effective channel length increases with gate bias, indicating that the gate dependence of both parameters is inherent to MOS devices.
