Abstract:
A method for deriving characteristic values of a MOS transistor is described. A set of ηk values is provided. A set of VBi values (i=1 to M, M≧3) is provided. A set of RSDi,j (i=1 to M−1, j=i+1 to M) values each under a pair of VBi and VBj, or a set of Vtq_q,j (q is one of 1 to M, j is 1 to M excluding q) values under VBq is derived for each ηk, with an iteration method. The ηk value making the set of RSDi,j values or Vtq_q,j values closest to each other is determined as an accurate ηk value. The mean value of RSDi,j at the accurate ηk value is calculated as an accurate RSD value.
