New link between low and high channels:
In this technology forward-biased
diodes suffer of parasitic bipolar
structure to the substrate.
-increased the size of clamp transistor
to reduce resistance (~100s Ohm)
-diodes have been replaced with diodeconnected transistors: they are effective
but slower (for the charge to flow they
need to wait for the creation of the
channel) and susceptible to threshold
variation

Parametrized input current:
Only one parameter d to model the input charge:
for a given area (charge Q) d is swept to simulate increased
collection time from the detector.
NB: this does not account for plasma effect in the detector so
expect pessimistic simulations for high energy implants!

HEC preamp out (d=100ns)
-with input diode-connected
transistors
-without (charge loss)

constant but different
collection times from detector

no significant difference
between the two, the diodeconnected transistors don’t
conduce
