Comparison of the new VBIC and conventional Gummel-Poon bipolar transistor models

A new bipolar transistor model called VBIC has recently been developed and is likely to replace the Gummel-Poon model as the new industry standard bipolar transistor model. This paper focuses on the comparison of the VBIC and Gummel-Poon models under the DC operations. The extraction and optimization procedure coded in S+ statistical language and required for VBIC simulation is also developed and presented.
