Description

See more compact models using the MIT Virtual Source (MVS) Model

The MIT Virtual Source (MVS) model is a semi-empirical compact model for nanoscale transistors that accurately describes the physics of quasi-ballistic transistors with only a few physical parameters.

Provided below are the Verilog-A version of the MVS 1.1.0 ETSOI model. Also provided below is a MATLAB version of this model ("mvs_si_1_1_0.m").
