Sub Threshold Slope
Sub Threshold Slope is a feature of a MOSFET's current-voltage characteristic.
Symbol: S
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Source Body Potential Difference
Source Body Potential Difference is calculated when an externally applied potential is equal to the sum of voltage drop across the oxide layer and the voltage drop across the semiconductor.
Symbol: Vsb
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
DIBL Coefficient
DIBL coefficient in a cmos device is resprented typically on the order of 0.1.
Symbol: η
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
ln
The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function.
Syntax: ln(Number)

How to Evaluate Subthreshold Slope?

Subthreshold Slope evaluator uses Sub Threshold Slope = Source Body Potential Difference*DIBL Coefficient*ln(10) to evaluate the Sub Threshold Slope, The Subthreshold slope formula is defined as a feature of a MOSFET's current–voltage characteristic. In the subthreshold region, the drain current behaviour, though being controlled by the gate terminal, is similar to the exponentially decreasing current of a forward biased diode. Sub Threshold Slope is denoted by S symbol.
