In this paper, a simple analytical model for deriving the threshold voltage of a short-channel intrinsic-body SDG SOI MOSFET is suggested. Using the iteration method, both Laplace equations in intrinsic silicon body and gate oxide are solved two-dimensionally. Obtained potential distributions in both regions are expressed in terms of fourth and fifth-order of the coordinate perpendicular to the silicon channel direction. Making use of them, the surface potential is obtained to derive the threshold voltage in a closed-form. Simulation results show the fairly accurate dependencies of the threshold voltage on the various device parameters and applied bias voltages.

In this paper, a simple analytical model for deriving the threshold voltage of a short-gate SOI MESFET is suggested. Using the iteration method, the Poisson equation in the fully depleted silicon channel and the Laplace equation in the buried oxide region are solved two-dimensionally, Obtained potential distributions in each region are expressed in terms of fifth-order of $\chi$, where $\chi$ denotes the coordinate perpendicular to the silicon channel direction. From them, the bottom channel potential is used to describe the threshold voltage in a closed-form. Simulation results show the dependencies of the threshold voltage on the various device geometry parameters and applied bias voltages.

A two-dimensional (2D) analytical model for the potential distribution and threshold voltage of short-channel ion-implanted GaAs MESFETs operating in the sub-threshold regime has been presented. A double-integrable Gaussian-like function has been assumed as the doping distribution profile in the vertical direction of the channel. The Schottky gate has been assumed to be semi-transparent through which optical radiation is coupled into the device. The 2D potential distribution in the channel of the short-channel device has been obtained by solving the 2D Poisson's equation by using suitable boundary conditions. The effects of excess carrier generation due to the incident optical radiation in channel region have been included in the Poisson's equation to study the optical effects on the device. The potential function has been utilized to model the threshold voltage of the device under dark and illuminated conditions. The proposed model has been verified by comparing the theoretically predicted results with simulated data obtained by using the commercially available $ATLAS^{TM}$ 2D device simulator.

The analytical transport model in subthreshold regime for double gate MOSFET has been presented to analyze the short channel effects such as subthreshold swing, threshold voltage roll-off and drain induced barrier lowering. The present approach includes the quantum tunneling of carriers through the source-drain barrier. Poisson equation is used for modeling thermionic emission current, and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximations are applied for modeling quantum tunneling current. This model has been used to investigate the subthreshold operations of double gate MOSFET having the gate length of the nanometer range with ultra thin gate oxide and channel thickness under sub-20nm. Compared with results of two dimensional numerical simulations, the results in this study show good agreements with those for subthreshold swing and threshold voltage roll-off. Note the short channel effects degrade due to quantum tunneling, especially in the gate length of below 10nm, and DGMOSFETs have to be very strictly designed in the regime of below 10nm gate length since quantum tunneling becomes the main transport mechanism in the subthreshold region.

In this paper, threshold voltage characteristics have been analyzed as one of short channel effects occurred in double gate(DG)MOSFET to be next-generation devices. The Gaussian function to be nearly experimental distribution has been used as carrier distribution to solve Poisson's equation, and threshold voltage has been investigated according to projected range and standard projected deviation, variables of Gaussian function. The analytical potential distribution model has been derived from Poisson's equation, and threshold voltage has been obtained from this model. Since threshold voltage has been defined as gate voltage when surface potential is twice of Fermi potential, threshold voltage has been derived from analytical model of surface potential. Those results of this potential model are compared with those of numerical simulation to verify this model. As a result, since potential model presented in this paper is good agreement with numerical model, the threshold voltage characteristics have been considered according to the doping profile of DGMOSFET.

Unlike the traditional displacement type vessels, the high speed planing crafts are supported by the lift forces which are highly non-linear. This non-linear phenomenon causes their motions in an irregular seaway to be non-Gaussian. In general, it may not be possible to express the probability distribution of such processes by an analytical formula. Also the process might not be stationary or ergodic in which case the statistical behavior of the motion to be constantly changing with time. Therefore the extreme values of such a process can no longer be calculated using the analytical formulae applicable to Gaussian processes. Since closed form analytical solutions do not exist, recourse is taken to fitting a distribution to the data and estimating the statistical properties of the process from this fitted probability distribution. The peaks over threshold analysis and fitting of the Generalized Pareto Distribution are explored in this paper as an alternative to Weibull, Generalized Gamma and Rayleigh distributions in predicting the short term extreme value of a random process.

This paper analyzes a broadcasting technique for wireless multi-hop sensor networks that uses a form of cooperative diversity called opportunistic large arrays (OLAs). We propose a method for autonomous scheduling of the nodes, which limits the nodes that relay and saves as much as 32% of the transmit energy compared to other broadcast approaches, without requiring global positioning system (GPS), individual node addressing, or inter-node interaction. This energy-saving is a result of cross-layer interaction, in the sense that the medium access control (MAC) and routing functions are partially executed in the physical (PHY) layer. Our proposed method is called OLA with a transmission threshold (OLA-T), where a node compares its received power to a threshold to decide if it should forward. We also investigate OLA with variable threshold (OLA-VT), which optimizes the thresholds as a function of level. OLA-T and OLA-VT are compared with OLA broadcasting without a transmission threshold, each in their minimum energy configuration, using an analytical method under the orthogonal and continuum assumptions. The trade-off between the number of OLA levels (or hops) required to achieve successful network broadcast and transmission energy saved is investigated. The results based on the analytical assumptions are confirmed with Monte Carlo simulations.

By assuming a linearly graded depletion edge approximation in the intrinsic MOS region and by taking into account the mobility variation dependent on both lateral and vertical fields, a physics-based analytical model for a short-channel(n-channel) MOSFET is suggested. Derived expressions for the threshold voltage and the drain current of typical MOSFET is structures could be used in a unified manner for all operating range. The threshold voltage was calculated by changing following variables : channel length, drain-source voltage, source-substrate voltage, p-substrate doping level, and oxide thickness. It is shown that the threshold voltage decreases almost exponentially as the channel length decreases. In addition, the short-channel threshold voltage roll-off, the channel length modulation and the electron mobility degradation can be derived within a satisfactory accuracy.

A compact analytical model of the threshold voltage for long-channel Asymmetric Double-Gate(ADG) MOSFET is presented. In contrast to the previous models, channel doping and carrier quantization are taken into account. A more compact model is derived by utilizing the potential distribution linearity characteristic of silicon film at threshold. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparisons with numerical simulations for various silicon film thickness, channel doping concentration and oxide thickness.

The channel region of seep-sub-micrometer MOSFET is non-uniformly doped with pocket implant. Therefore, the advanced threshold voltage model is needed to account for the Short-Channel Effect and Reverse-Short-Channel Effect due to the non-uniform doping concentration in the channel region. In this paper, A scalable analytical model for the MOSFET threshold voltage is developed. The developed model is verified with MEDICI and TSUPREM simulator.
