The Simulation Standard, Silvaco’s technical journal for semiconductor process and device engineers is beginning its 30th year of publication. The latest issue has just been released and it outlines a

The market for cellular components has been shifting rapidly from GaAs pHEMT or silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) to silicon-based technology. CMOS (silicon-on-insulator) SOI antenna switches which are compatible with multimode GSM/EDGE, TD/WCDMA,

As process nodes continue to shrink, the requirement for additional physics-based simulation is gradually creeping into each stage of the design process. By way of illustration, Technology Computer Aided Design

IEDM is THE device conference with more than a thousand participants from major companies and R&D institutes. Many talks were dedicated to new memory devices and circuits, including Ferroelectrics, MRAM,

The IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is the world’s preeminent forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling.

The power electronics (PE) market is growing rapidly, driven by the accelerating demand of EV and HEV vehicles. Power devices lend themselves to design and manufacturing innovations at the transistor-level

PowerAmerica’s strategic roadmap for next generation wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics (PE) came out earlier this year. The public version of the roadmap includes a background/introduction and market forecast pertaining

y first IC design back in 1978 was a DRAM and it ran on 12V, 5V and -5V, but then my second DRAM was using only a 5V supply. Today

I started out my engineering career by doing transistor-level circuit design and we used a proprietary SPICE circuit simulator. One thing that I quickly realized was that the accuracy of

A quick search of the IEEE Xplore online library gives a list of more than 230 published technical articles on Power Device Simulation using Silvaco TCAD. Here are some recent

Over the past 50 years in our industry, there have been three invariant principles: Moore’s Law drives the pace of Si technology scaling system memory utilizes MOS devices (for SRAM
