An IC layout has to satisfy many technological design requirements. One of these is spacing, i.e., a layout object has to be separated from another one by some minimal distance.

Most of recent improvements in Expert, Savage, Guardian and Maverick are aimed at the enhancement of the usability of these tools. All features described are developed according to the requests

Virtually all latest and prospective enhancements of Expert Layout processor (for example, semi-automatic floorplanning) are based on sophisticated geometrical models. In some cases some advanced mathematical research is necessary to

If I try to close a project, Expert gives me a prompt: "Save changes in a project?", but I remember that I didn't do any editing of cells. When can

The low temperature operation of many device structures has been shown as an effective method for improving device performance without reducing device size. By modeling low temperature phenomena, numerical simulation

This article will present the simulation methodology of a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET structure (FinFET) using SILVACO 3-D simulation suite. The double-gate MOSFET is one of the most attractive alternative to

The Atlas syntax is flexible enough to allow the definition of sinusoidal nodal voltages by defining them on the SOLVE statement line. To illustrate this the structure shown in Figure
