    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a method, system and program storage device for generating accurate performance targets for active semiconductor devices during technology node development in order to reduce the number of iterations required for model extraction and/or to improve model quality. In these embodiments, initial sets of performance targets for related semiconductor devices are generated, e.g., by making assumptions based on hardware measurements taken from semiconductor devices in prior technology nodes. Additional processes are then performed on the initial sets of performance targets prior to the modeling stage in order to detect and resolve any inconsistencies between the data in the sets. Specifically, plotting techniques are performed with respect to the performance targets. The results are analyzed to detect any inconsistencies indicating that the performance targets are inaccurate and adjustments are made to the performance targets in order to resolve those inconsistencies.

    摘要: A method of modeling statistical variation of field effect transistors having fingers physically measures characteristics of existing transistors and extracts a scaled simulation based on the characteristics of the existing transistors using a first model. The method creates synthetic single finger data using the scaled simulation. The method physically measures characteristics of existing pairs of matched transistors and extracts random dopant fluctuations from the characteristics of the existing pairs of matched transistors using a second model that is different than the first model. The method extracts a single finger from the synthetic single finger data and the random dopant fluctuations using the first model. The method can also create an ensemble model by determining the skew between a typical single device model and a typical ensemble model. The method adjusts parameters of the first model to cause the single finger to match targets for the single finger. Also, the method produces the centered scalable single finger model (model C) after the adjustments are complete.
