Abstract
In this paper, using numerical simulations, analytical modeling and experimental data, we validate the applicability of the transconductance-to-current ratio (gm/ID) derivative (d(gm/ID)/dVG) method for extracting the threshold voltage (VTH) in junctionless (JL) MOSFETs and show its advantages over the commonly-used transconductance derivative (or double derivative of drain current) method (dgm/dVG≡d2ID/dVG 2). It is shown that, although both methods are based on the same theoretical VTH-criterion, the d(gm/ID)/dVG method is more accurate than the d2ID/dVG 2 method due to its lesser sensitivity to the gate-voltage-dependent mobility and series resistance parasitic effects, being particularly important in JL MOSFETs.
