A novel extraction method of high frequency small-signal model parameters for MOSFET is proposed. From S-parameter measurement, this technique accurately extracts the MOSFET model parameters including the charge conservation capacitance

Q: I tried to resize shapes using the DRC command and observed thin "cracks" appeared for polygons with holes (see the left shape in Figure 1). At the same time

In our previous publication ("Scholar: An Enhanced Multi-Platform Schematic Capture", Simulation Standard, Vol.10, Number 9, September 1999) we presented the main features of a new-generation schematic capture tool - Silvaco's

A: ATLAS/S-Pisces and ATLAS/Blaze both have a small signal ac analysis capability built into them. This analysis is based upon the work of S.Laux [1] and results in the extraction

Thyristors are semiconductor devices that exhibit multi-stable or bi-stable electrical characteristics, and can be switched between a high-impedance OFF state and a low-impedance ON state. Bidirectional thyristors are particularly useful

Ever decreasing minimum geometries in MOSFET design results in a corresponding reduction in the thickness of the gate oxide. This is an inevitable result of the increasing doping levels in

With the continuing emergence of optical technologies, optoelectronic device structures are becoming increasingly important for modern telecommunications and data network applications. Like other semiconductor technologies, two-dimensional numerical simulation can be

SOI technology for state of the art CMOS technology is rapidly approaching maturity. PD-SOI device design has the advantage of easier manufacturing but requires more sophisticated device and circuit design

A. It is likely that there may be some contact problems or defected devices during the data collection. This problem can occur when the log file is open and some

New improvements have been added to Shur models. These enhancements include a self-heating effect and a new charge conservative model.

The Berkeley BSIM3SOI version 2.1 models, released in September 1999, have been implemented in SmartSpice. The three new models are selected according to LEVEL selector.

Q: How can I cut exactly the same hole in many layers? A: There are at least two ways to do this. (1) You may use the command Tools>>Cut by
