Q: How can I view a Foundry DRC run in Expert? A: Before a Foundry will start creating the masks to fabricate a design, they normally will do some sort

One of the strengths of Expert is to generate complex shaped layers such as spiral inductors, parabolic waveguides, etc. For the case of the spiral inductor, it has already been

Cross-Sectional Viewer is a tool in the Expert layout editor that simulates the cross-sections of ICs along an arbitrary drawn cut-line on the layout. Cross-Sectional Viewer is a link between

A common technique for creating metal contacts is one known as a lift off. When performing a lift off process step, in order to create metal contacts, for example, it

In this communication we present a brief description of our initial results of transient simulation of InP/InGaAsP Fabry-Perot edge emitting laser diode structure Using Silvaco ATLAS/Blaze and Laser modules. The

This article will show how you can create LPE rule files using EXACT’s LISA scripting functionality. We will concentrate on generating a technology file for parasitic capacitance extraction with HIPEX-C.

The high gain, and high gain-bandwidth product of the avalanche photodiodes is one of the key device for the long distance optical communication systems. For the 0.92-1.65um wavelength range, the

In the design of VLSI circuits the situations occur very often when a single schematic device is implemented in the layout by the group of several devices connected in parallel

A novel simulation method of the steady-state of oscillators, based on Harmonic Balance (HB), is presented. A comparison with regular transient simulations demonstrates its advantages on a feedback voltage-controlled oscillator

During the elaboration of a Verilog-A model, debugging a module can be very useful for detecting non-physical behavior or fine-tuning the model. The SILVACO Verilog-A debugger has been designed to
