The report in the postscript file UFSOI.PARAM_EVAL.ps describes the process-based methodologies for evaluation of the UFSOI-4.5 NFD and FD model parameters. (The UFSOI-7.5 models can be calibrated via the methodologies described, with some adjustments.) It is essential that these methodologies be used. Use of more-global optimization methods with little link to the device structures can lead to nonphysical parameters which invalidate the models. ------------------------------------------------- Jerry G.
