Abstract

We report a novel method to solve the nonlinear 1-D Poisson's equation for the gate-all-around (GAA) nanowire MOSFETs with nonuniform doping profiles. An algebraic relation between the electric field and potential is identified to develop a surface-field-based compact model. Drain current is derived from the oxide-interface boundary condition to avoid the complicated surface-potential approach. As verified by the TCAD simulations, this analytic model is capable of continuously covering all operating regions of GAA nanowire MOSFETs with slowly varying doping profiles.
