    摘要: A system and method of simulating operation of an integrated circuit. First, circuit characteristics of circuit components are measured, and a set of circuit simulation model parameters are generated for each measured circuit component. Then, the operation of predefined circuit primitives is simulated using each of the generated sets of circuit simulation model parameters. The circuit primitives include the measured circuit components. The simulated operations are then analyzed to select ones of the simulated operations that are worst, best and nominal with respect to a specified circuit performance parameter and to extract model parameters corresponding to the worst case, best case and nominal case sets of circuit simulation model parameters from the generated sets of circuit simulation model parameters. Each extracted set of circuit simulation model parameters comprises one of the generated sets of circuit simulation model parameters. Then a target circuit is simulated using each of the worst case, best case and nominal case sets of circuit simulation model parameters so as to generate data representing the target circuits under worst case, best case and nominal case manufacturing conditions.

    摘要: An SOI MOSFET having improved electrical characteristics includes a low barrier body contact under the source region, and alternatively under the drain region, to facilitate collection and removal of current carriers generated by impact ionization. Fully-depleted and non-fully-depleted SOI MOSFETs can be integrated on the same chip by providing some transistors with thicker source and drain regions with a recessed channel therebetween and by selective channel dopant implant. Accordingly, digital circuitry and analog circuitry can be combined on one substrate. Improved electrostatic discharge protection is provided by fabricating transistors for the protection circuit directly in the supporting substrate by first removing the silicon thin film and underlying insulation barrier. Alternatively, improved transistors for electrostatic discharge protection can be formed in the silicon film by fabricating the transistor in a plurality of electrically isolated segments, each segment having source and drain regions separated by a channel region with the regions being electrically interconnected with like regions in other segments. Increased ESD current can be realized as compared to the ESD current for a wider unsegmented device.
