I. INTRODUCTION
As it is known, multi-gate MOSFETs are good alternatives
of conventional MOSFETs for sub 100 nm CMOS
technology [1]. The key factors that limit how far a multi-gate
MOSFET can be scaled come from short-channel effects
(SCEs) such as threshold voltage roll-off and drain-induced
barrier lowering (DIBL). The choice of undoped channel is
preferable because of the dopant fluctuation and associated
improvement in mobility. Several compact FinFET or double
gate (DG) MOSFET models have been published [2-7].
However, there is still a lack of accurate and fully analytic
compact modeling of extremely short DG or FinFET devices.
An explicit compact model is proposed in [7,8] but the good
accuracy is achieved by using a set of extracted empirical
parameters.
Here is proposed an explicit, fully analytical approach to
model the short channel effects for undoped DG and FinFET.
The model is based on the exact solution of potential profile
along the channel [9].
The paper is organized as follows. Section II presents the
analytical model. The core of the long-channel model is briefly
described and then the modeling of short channel MOSFET in
weak and strong inversion is detailed. Section III presents the
comparisons with Atlas simulations and discussions.

To smooth the slope degradation in high inversion regime we
substitute vp* in (2) only in the second and third terms which
are signicant in weak inversion. Thus substituting (5) and (7)
in (1) and (2), we extend the long channel model to short
