2. Segmentation method
We use the active line approach to extend the compact model to high frequency operation. It is based on splitting the channel into a number of elementary sections
Our quasi-static small-signal equivalent circuit, to which we add additional microscopic diffusion and gate shot noise sources, is applied to each section
Our charge control model allows to obtain analytical expressions of the local small-signal parameters in each segment

4. Analytical explicit model
Single-piece compact expressions to model the drain, gate current noise
spectrum densities and their correlations were derived for for DG MOSFETs
Comparison of current noise densities and imaginary part of correlation coefficient as function of gate voltage calculated with the segmentation method (●) and the singlepiece model (—) for a DG MOSFET with L=1 μm, tox=2 nm, ts=34 nm, VDS=2V, f=1 GHz).
