Its output saturation behavior is improved by introducing a new asymptotic function. All model parameters were extracted using an adapted version of the Universal Method and Extraction Procedure (UMEM) applied for the first time for GIZO devices in a simple and direct form. We demonstrate the correct behavior of the model for negative VDS, a necessity for a complete compact model. In this way we prove the symmetry of source and drain electrodes and extend the range of applications to both signs of VDS. The model, in Verilog-A code, is implemented in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, such as Smart Spice, and compared with measurements of TFTs. It describes accurately the experimental~characteristics in the whole range of GIZO TFTs operation,~making the~model~suitable for the design of circuits using these types of devices. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Ltd}, keywords = {Amorphous films, Compact model, Computer aided design, Drain current, Electronic design automation tools, Extraction, Extraction procedure, Field effect transistors, Gallium, Gallium indium zinc oxides, GIZO, Indium, Parameter extraction, Parameters extraction, Source and drain electrodes, Thin film circuits, Thin film transistors, Thin films, Thin-film transistor (TFTs), Zinc, Zinc oxide}, issn = {00381101}, doi = {10.1016/j.sse.2016.09.011}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84994316272\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.sse.2016.09.011\&partnerID=40\&md5=e953f6036fe8af1e1d4ff5d2a5c909c8}, author = {Moldovan, O.a and Castro-Carranza, A.b and Cerdeira, A.c and Estrada, M.c and Barquinha, P.d and Martins, R.d and Fortunato, E.d and Miljakovic, S.e and I{\~n}iguez, B.a} }
