A circuit model of silicon substrate coupling for CMOS RF-IC design is developed. Its characteristics are analyzed by using a simple RC mesh model in order to investigate substrate coupling. The coupling effects due to the substrate were characterized with substrate resistivity, oxide thickness, substrate thickness. and physical distance. Thereby the silicon substrate effects are analytically investigated and verified with simulation. The analysis and simulation of the model have excellent agreements with MEDICI(2D device simulator) simulation results.

The substrate resistance is modeled to estimate the performance degradation of analog circuits by substrate noise in a $0.35{\mu}m$ twin-well non-epitaxial CMOS process. The substrate resistance model equations are applied to the P+ guard-ring isolation structure and a good match was achieved between measurements and models. The substrate resistance is divided into four types and a semi-empirical model equation is obtained for each type of substrate resistance. The rms(root-mean-square) error of the substrate resistance model is below 10% compared with the measured resistance. To apply this substrate resistance model to the P+ guard ring structure, ADS(Advanced Design System) circuit simulation results are compared with the measurement results using Network Analyzer, and relatively good agreements are obtained between measurements and simulations.

This paper deals with the theoretical derivation of the modified Haldane model of the substrate inhibition in the microbial growth processes. Based on the biological concepts of substrate-receptor complex working mechanisms, a new microbial kinetics of N-fold multiplex substrate inhibition and its generalization has been considered theoretically, which is natural expansion of the simple substrate inhibition mechanism in the enzyme reaction. As a result, the modified Haldane model of the substrate inhibition turns out to be a well-designed four-parameter kinetic model with a biological constant of the total substrate inhibition concentration.

Using accurate MOSFET substrate parameters obtained by a RF direct extraction method, it is demonstrated that a BSIM4 model with only substrate resistances is not physically valid to apply in the wide range of gate length because of scaling inaccuracy. In order to remove the unphysical problem of the BSIM4, a modified BSIM4 model with additional dielectric substrate capacitance is used and its physical validity is verified by observing excellent gate length scalability.

A substrate network model characterizing substrate effect of submicron MOS transistors for RF operation and its parameter extraction with physically meaningful values are presented. The proposed substrate network model includes a single resistance and inductance originated from ring-type substrate contacts around active devices. Model parameters are extracted from S-parameter data measured from common-bulk configured MOS transistors with floating gate and use where needed with out any optimization. The proposed modeling technique has been applied to various-sized MOS transistors. Excellent agreement the measurement data and the simulation results using extracted substrate network model up to 30GHz.

Recently, small signal modeling of CMOS device becomes more difficult because the design rule goes into deep submicron. De-embedding of substrate parameters is important in order to use CMOS devices at RF frequencies. In this paper, we suggest a new de-embedding model with refined physical meaning and accuracy. In GaAs IC’s, the substrate is almost an insulator but Si substrate has the semiconducting characteristics. It offers some troubles if it is treated like GaAs substrate. The conducting substrate is modeled with five resistances, which leads to very accurate modeling so long as the pad layout is symmetrical. Frequency range is up to 39㎓ and fitting accuracy is as small as 0.00037 on least square errors.

In this paper, a substrate network model to be used with BSIM3 MOSFET model for submicron MOSFETs in giga hertz frequencies and its direct parameter extraction with physically meaningful values are proposed. The proposed substrate network model includes a conventional resistance and single inductance originated from ring-type substrate contacts around active devices. Model parameters are extracted from S-parameter data measured from common-bulk configured MOS transistors with floating gate and use where needed without any optimization process. The proposed modeling technique has been applied to various-sized MOS transistors. The substrate model has been validated for frequency up to 300Hz.

In this study, multi-finger RF MOSFET substrate parameters are accurately extracted by using S-parameters measured from common source-bulk and common source-gate test structures. Using this extraction method, the accuracy of an asymmetrical model with three substrate resistances is verified by observing better agreement with measured Y-parameters than a simple model with a single substrate resistance. The modeled S-parameters of the asymmetrical model also show excellent agreement with measured ones up to 20GHz.

In the present study, we propose Monte Carlo simulation that takes into consideration the interface phenomena between liquid crystal and substrate. We use rigid model molecules of liquid crystal and substrate. Interface is generated using potential field that induces decomposition of molecules. We use hard spherocylinders as model liquid crystal molecules. Substrate is modeled as region composed of shorter spherocylinders. Our results show that there is a case in which nematic order is reinforced in the vicinity of rubbed substrate.
