HIPEX-R is part of HIPEX software package for physical verification of multimillion transistor designs. It is a hierarchical full chip parasitic resistance extraction tool.

SILVACO is releasing its new layout parameter extractor: HIPEX-NET. The new tool will replace Silvaco’s Maverick, which is a part of Guardian LVS/ERC. While being fully compliant with Maverick, HIPEX-NET

In previous versions of Guardian DRC there were only two ways of measuring the distance between two segments: the ordinary, Euclidean metric, and the square metric, which behaves differently when

Q: I would like to highlight two nodes at the same time in Expert. I currently use Verification->Node Probing->Pick Node to highlight a node, but I donít see how I

Spreading Resistance Profiling (SRP) retains its popularity in the semiconductor industry by an inexpensive means of capturing dopant profile information. However, device engineers often incorporate SRP data into process simulation

An eye diagram is a convenient way to visualise how the waveforms used to send multiple bits of data can potentially lead to errors in the interpretation of those bits.

An effective device structure for reducing leakage current in BH laser diodes with semiin-sulation doped Fe in InP blocking layers has been analyzed [3]. In this study, the leakage current

Mocasim is an advanced three-valley Monte Carlo simulator designed to generate the transport parameters used in Silvaco’s physical device simulators. It accurately calculates the material transport parameters of both direct

Q: EXACT has powerful scripting utilities for manipulating the final capacitance data and variables but is there an easier graphical front end that would also allow me to view the

HiSIM (Hiroshima university STARC IGFET Model) is one of the surface potential based Spice models [1], [2] and pioneered the iterative approach to obtain the surface potential applicable in compact

There are several ways to account for the effect of STI-induced stress in standard compact models. The purpose of this article is to present two different approaches developed by the

In this article, we describe practical behavioral modeling for highly non-linear circuits using Verilog-A, which is analog extension of Verilog-AMS. At first, we describe behavioral modeling techniques for phase/frequency detectors
