Reading for VLSI reading group this week

[Jerry]

We will discuss a classic paper on transistor modeling:

'Alpha-power law MOSFET model and its applications to CMOS inverter
delay and other formulas'
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel1/4/1876/00052187.pdf?arnumber=52187

together with a very short paper of our own work on the same topic:

'Accurate Back-of-the-Envelope Transistor Model for Deep Sub-micron
MOS'
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/4231411/4231412/04231457.pdf?isnumber=4231412&prod=CNF&arnumber=4231457&arSt=75&ared=76&arAuthor=Qi%2C+Zhenyu+(Jerry)%3B+Stan%2C+Mircea+R.

You DON'T need to read the following paper. Just list it here as a
reference since it's quite relevant and I will touch on it briefly at
the beginning:

A Physical Alpha-Power Law MOSFET Model
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/6499/17348/00799442.pdf?arnumber=799442

See you all on Friday!
