From the equations (3) and (4) it can be seen that for a given
1 − 𝑉𝐺𝐹 increasing 𝑉𝐺𝐵 increases Ψ𝑆𝐹 , thus effectively reducing

the threshold voltage. This is shown in fig.9 and is modelled

From equation (3) ,𝑉𝑇𝐹 is obtained by setting Ψ𝑆𝐹 = 2𝜙𝐵 equation. For our purpose, we assume that 𝑉𝑇𝐹 varies

The above figure shows Drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL),
a short channel effect present in MOSFET devices [7,20].
Similarly subthreshold swing (m) can be computed.

VI. CONCLUSION
In this paper we discussed the scaling bottlenecks for
conventional MOSFET’s and motivated the need for PDSOI and
FDSOI based devices. SOI devices offer less parasitics but
suffer from self heating effects. We then presented a physics
based model for PDSOI device and analyzed floating body
effects namely threshold voltage lowering and parasitic BJT
effects. A FDSOI device has no such problems and allows for a
tighter gate control over channel because of better electrostatics.
We also derived a surface potential based model for FDSOI
devices. The threshold voltage can be tuned using back gate bias.
A simple model was presented showing this dependence for
various modes of operation. An ideal subthreshold swing is yet [11] http://www.techdesignforums.com/practice/technique/physical-
