A simple model for threshold voltage of surrounding-gate MOSFET's

We propose a threshold voltage model for surrounding-gate MOSFETs. The model treats the ends and the double-gate regions of the channel as separate devices operating in parallel. The threshold voltage for the full device is obtained as the perimeter-weighted sum of the threshold voltages of the two parts enabling simple analytic threshold models to be used. Short channel effects and drain-induced barrier lowering are also modeled in this manner.
