1998

The latest Berkeley BSIM3v3.2 model of June 16 1998 is now available in the SmartSpice 1.5.5 release. Two BSIM3v3.2 implementations are supported in SmartSpice and UTMOST III.

Q: Can I draw tangents to circles in EXPERT? A: Expert supports several options for drawing sophisticated shapes. There are three ways to accomplish this task.

Placement and routing problems for integrated circuits are inherently interrelated and extremely complex from the algorithmic point of view. This complexity grows exponentially as the scale of integration increases.

Maverick is a modern hierarchical netlist extractor, providing extraordinary efficiency as well as comprehensive features and ease of use. It runs on PC under Microsoft Windows NT providing unique productivity

How can anti-reflective coatings be modeled when simulating photodetectors in ATLAS/Luminous? How can detection efficiency be plotted?

This article focuses on the effects of process and modeling parameters on device electrical characteristics and uses the threshold voltage versus gate length of a n-MOSFET as an illustration.

Mixed-signal systems-on-a-chip (SOC) integration of digital, analog, RF, and power components is emerging to meet demands for low-power, highly integrated systems in portable computing, wireless communications, and multimedia.

FastBlaze is a fast physical device simulator for MESFETs and HEMTs optimized to provide interactive TCAD for modern III-V FET devices. It incorporates device-specific techniques to allow 1000x to 10000x

Q. What is the typical method of measuring flicker noise using S3245A Noise Amplifier?

The importance of the MOS device SPICE model validation and the introduction of the validation routine in UTMOST III was presented in Simulation Standard article issued on September 1996. The

A new feature has recently been added to UTMOST: the ability to convert UTMOST log files into a format suitable for viewing in TonyPlot. This new feature is controlled from

In a previous article [1], the efficient use of the SmartSpice .MODIF statement for cell characterization was discussed. This article will focus on using advanced features of the SmartSpice scripting
