What is the significance of normalized data in NMOSFET parameter extraction?

AI Thread Summary
Normalized data in NMOSFET parameter extraction refers to adjusting measurements to a standard width, which allows for consistent comparisons across devices. In this case, the Id data normalized to w=1μmeter means that to extract the actual Ids for a device with w=10μmeter, the value should be multiplied by 10. Low-field mobility (μ0) is not constant across all NMOSFETs; variations can occur due to factors like fabrication processes and material properties, leading to discrepancies between default and extracted values. The BSIM guide's default value serves as a general reference but may not reflect specific device characteristics. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurate NMOSFET analysis and modeling.

Hey! I'm doing a lab assignment and need some guidance.

i have measurement with L=1μmeter and w=10μmeter, but the id data is normalized to w=1μmeter, what does it mean?

do I need to get Ids "un-normalized" for extraction, like Ids*1e-6= new Ids


the second question is about low-field mobility, does the low-field mobility μ0 equal for all NMOSFETs? the BSIM guide Iam using have default value is 670 cm^2/Vsec for NMOSFET. but the extracted value is like 200cm^2/Vsec, I'm confused.

I don't know if this is the right sub-forum for posting those questions, please moderators change it to appropriate sub-forum if needed.

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?
 
The general MOSFET equation is Id = mu Cox W/L ((Vgs-Vth) Vds - Vds^2/2). This is the W/L they are referring to.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
