Summary: 
We propose a new inverse modeling method to extract 2D channel dopant profile in an MOSFET. The profile is extracted from threshold voltage (Vth) of MOSFETs with a series of gate lengths. The uniqueness of the extracted channel and drain profile is confirmed through test simulations. The extracted profile of actual 0.1 µm nMOSFETs explains reverse short channel effects (RSCE) of threshold voltage dependent on gate length including substrate bias dependence.
