INTRODUCTION
The new compact analytical Doped Symmetric Double-Gate Model (Doped-SDG model) recently developed in [1,2,3] that considers variable mobility and short-channel
effects, is used for modeling FinFETs behavior at different temperatures up to 200°C.
FinFETs with the following features are analyzed [4]:

As was shown in [1] the new model is based on the
description of the potential difference between the
surface and the center of the silicon layer, d, as function
of doping concentration Na, equivalent gate dielectric
thickness tox and silicon layer thickness ts.
The surface potentials in all regimes, from below to
above threshold regime can be calculated using the
Lambert function.

Comparison of measured and modeled transfer characteristics at VD= 20 mV and 1V with temperatures of 20°C; 75°C; 100°C; 150°C and 200°C are shown
in figures 1 to 4. Excellent agreement in below and above threshold regions is observed including the variation of the subthreshold slope. Extracted values of
the model parameters are also show in Tables I - III with  = 0.6 for all cases.

The Doped-SDG Model was used for modeling FinFET transistors with metal
gate, low doped silicon layer for two different channel lengths, 10 m and 80
nm. The transfer characteristics were measured at 20ºC, 75ºC, 100ºC, 150ºC
and 200ºC. The measured and modeled characteristics present an excellent
coincidence from below to above threshold regions, including the subthreshold
slope, showing the accuracy of the proposed model and its application to
FinFETs.
