摘要: Abstract In order to alleviate the influence of fluctuation experimental data from noise and errors measurement systems, a differential smoothing technique has been introduced into extraction threshold voltage MOSFETs (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors). The results show that transconductance versus gate ( g m – V ) curves could be smoother when rank grows. A criterion seek best optimal fitting curve, named as mismatch rate, proposed obtain parameter stably automatically. This will contribute analysis characteristics MOSFET designation integrated circuits.
