N2 - This paper presents a physical explanation of MOSFET intrinsic gate to drain capacitance (CCD) going negative due to Drain Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) effect. For the sub-90nm MOS devices, DIBL effect may be dominant enough to guide CGD to negative if de-embedded from parallel extrinsic overlap, outer and inner fringing capacitances. The possibility of this phenomenon is evident from the results of our 2-D TCAD simulations of conventional bulk MOS structure. However negative capacitances lead to non-convergence issue in circuit simulators and need to be bounded in MOS devices compact models.
