Since few years the work on Fully Depleted SOI (FDSOI) device technology have been interestingly increased due to few Semiconductor Companies believed to have a reliable and cost-effective production with FDSOI in compare with FinFETs/bulk-CMOS (e.g. ST-Mircoelectronics co. in conjunction with CMP is already in production phase of FDSOI tech.).
1. So, if anyone could suggest the freely available predictive technology model (PTM) and/or Product Design Kit (PDK) either charge or surface potential based ; will be highly appreciable.
2. Is it even possible to have "charge-based" SOI/PD-SOI/FD-SOI technology models. Or all the companies are using "surface potential - based" such as PSP based models.
Thanks.
Hi,
You can find PTM for future transistor and interconnect technologies with this website of Arizona State University .
http://ptm.asu.edu/
These predictive model files are compatible with standard circuit simulators, such as SPICE, and scalable with a wide range of process variations. With PTM, competitive circuit design and research can start even before the advanced semiconductor technology is fully developed.

Hi laurent, Thanks for your reply.
However, PTM(s) by Arizona state univ. with above links only provides MOSFETs and FinFETs but not FDSOI PTM/PDK. Anyways, I have done some research on finding FDSOI PTMs and would like to share here which probably be beneficial for others as well who are looking for it.
There are three PTMs available for FDSOI:
1) BSIM-IMG (University of California at Berkeley):
Comments:
a). Believed to have FDSOI PTM models based on BSIM group latest publications.
b). Not sure if it is Charge based or Surface-potential based
2) HiSIM (Hiroshima University)
Comments:
a) FDSOI and is PSP based model
3) PSP-SOI (Arizona State University)
Comments:
a) FDSOI and is PSP based model
