Accurate circuit simulation reflecting physical and electrical stress is of importance in indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO)-based flexible electronics. In particular, appropriate modeling of threshold voltage (VT) changes in different bias and bending conditions is required for reliability-aware simulation in both device and circuit levels. Here, we present SPICE compatible compact modeling of IGZO transistors and inverters having an atomic layer deposition (ALD) Al2O3 gate insulator on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. Specifically, the modeling was performed to predict the behavior of the circuit using stretched exponential function (SEF) in a bending radius of 10 mm and operating voltages ranging between 4 and 8 V. The simulation results of the IGZO circuits matched well with the measured values in various operating conditions. It is expected that the proposed method can be applied to process improvement or circuit design by predicting the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) responses of flexible IGZO circuits.

We developed a compact model of SiC-IGBT for circuit simulation of power conversion systems under 6.6kV / 100A/cm2 bias operation at a few hundred Hz switching frequency. The model includes punch-through effects occurring at the base/buffer surface of the base region. The model allows accurate prediction of switching waveforms and energy loss improvement caused by the punch-through effect (PT-effect).

A robust second order Newton iteration scheme is proposed for solving the nonlinear algebraic equations. Potential applications include the projection of the initial guess to the solution when the parameters in the equations are changed. The mathematical derivation leading to the scheme is given and pros and cons of the method are discussed. As an example, the method has been applied to the evaluation of charge-sheet model for MOS as used in the circuit simulation.
