Abstract
With the advent of multi gate and nanoscale fabrication techniques, several new transistor topographies have been proposed and manufactured in the past decade. In parallel, accurate and efficient compact models for these devices have been likewise developed. This paper summarizes the major topographies and their associated compact models with a focus toward computationally efficient models constructed for implementation in common modeling languages such as Verilog-A and SPICE. Common physical and mathematical modeling techniques have also been reviewed as has the evolution from simple multi gate devices to nanoscale structures.
