Lombardi's mobility model accounts for the effect of the transverse
electric on mobility in a MOSFET device. Lombardi's formulation adds
terms for surface acoustic phonon ( ) and surface roughness
scattering (
) to the bulk mobility (
) using a
Matthiesen-like rule:
The bulk mobility ( ) can be from a variety of formulations,
typically the Arora model in Prophet. Lombardi gives the following
forms for
and
:
Table 3 summarizes the Prophet parameter names and
default values for the Lombardi mobility model.
Conventional usage expresses mobility in units of ;
however, Prophet uses units of
, so the numerical
values of the mobility parameters appear to be
larger than
usual.
