  27. The diode is modeled as an ohmic resistance (RS/area) in series with an intrinsic diode. <(+) node> is the anode and <(-) node> is the cathode. Positive current is current flowing from the anode through the diode to the cathode. [area value] scales IS, ISR, IKF,RS, CJO, and IBV, and defaults to 1. IBV and BV are both specified as positive values. In the following equations: Vd = voltage across the intrinsic diode onlyVt = k·T/q (thermal voltage)k = Boltzmann’s constantq = electron charge T = analysis temperature (°K) Tnom = nom. temp. (set with TNOM option)

  31. Interpreting a plotof log(iD) vs. Vd In the region where Irec < Inrm < IKF, and iD*RS << Vd. iD ~ Inrm = IS(exp (Vd/(NVt)) - 1) For N = 1 and Vt = 25.852 mV, the slope of the plot of log(iD) vs. Vd is evaluated as {dlog(iD)/dVd} = log (e)/(NVt) = 16.799 decades/V = 1decade/59.526mV

  32. Static Model Eqns.Parameter Extraction In the region where Irec < Inrm < IKF, and iD*RS << Vd. iD ~ Inrm = IS(exp (Vd/(NVt)) - 1) {diD/dVd}/iD = d[ln(iD)]/dVd = 1/(NVt) so N ~ {dVd/d[ln(iD)]}/Vt  Neff, and ln(IS) ~ ln(iD) - Vd/(NVt) ln(ISeff). Note: iD, Vt, etc., are normalized to 1A, 1V, resp.

  33. Static Model Eqns.Parameter Extraction In the region where Irec > Inrm, and iD*RS << Vd. iD ~ Irec = ISR(exp (Vd/(NRVt)) - 1) {diD/dVd}/iD = d[ln(iD)]/dVd ~ 1/(NRVt) so NR ~ {dVd/d[ln(iD)]}/Vt Neff, & ln(ISR) ~ln(iD) -Vd/(NRVt ) ln(ISReff). Note: iD, Vt, etc., are normalized to 1A, 1V, resp.

  34. Static Model Eqns.Parameter Extraction In the region where IKF > Inrm, and iD*RS << Vd. iD ~ [ISIKF]1/2(exp (Vd/(2NVt)) - 1) {diD/dVd}/iD = d[ln(iD)]/dVd ~ (2NVt)-1 so 2N ~ {dVd/d[ln(iD)]}/Vt  2Neff, and ln(iD) -Vd/(NRVt)  ½ln(ISIKFeff). Note: iD, Vt, etc., are normalized to 1A, 1V, resp.

  35. Static Model Eqns.Parameter Extraction In the region where iD*RS >> Vd. diD/Vd ~ 1/RSeff dVd/diD  RSeff

  36. Getting Diode Data forParameter Extraction • The model used .model Dbreak D( Is=1e-13 N=1 Rs=.5 Ikf=5m Isr=.11n Nr=2) • Analysis has V1 swept, and IPRINT has V1 swept • iD, Vd data in Output

  38. dln(iD)/dVd - Numerical Differentiation

  39. Diode Par.Extraction 1/Reff iD ISeff

  40. Results ofParameter Extraction • At Vd = 0.2 V, NReff = 1.97, ISReff = 8.99E-11 A. • At Vd = 0.515 V, Neff = 1.01, ISeff = 1.35 E-13 A. • At Vd = 0.9 V, RSeff = 0.725 Ohm • Compare to .model Dbreak D( Is=1e-13 N=1 Rs=.5 Ikf=5m Isr=.11n Nr=2)

  41. Hints for RS and NFparameter extraction In the region where vD > VKF. Defining vD = vDext - iD*RS and IHLI = [ISIKF]1/2. iD = IHLIexp (vD/2NVt) + ISRexp (vD/NRVt) diD/diD = 1  (iD/2NVt)(dvDext/diD - RS) + … Thus, for vD > VKF (highest voltages only) • plot iD-1vs. (dvDext/diD) to get a line with • slope = (2NVt)-1, intercept = - RS/(2NVt)

  42. Application of RS tolower current data In the region where vD < VKF. We still have vD = vDext - iD*RS and since. iD = ISexp (vD/NVt) + ISRexp (vD/NRVt) • Try applying the derivatives for methods described to the variables iD and vD (using RS and vDext). • You also might try comparing the N value from the regular N extraction procedure to the value from the previous slide.
