Q: Can ATLAS simulate an SEU event in 2D? To simulate a single event upset (SEU) is inherently a 3D problem because the alpha particle may strike the chip at

RPI VCSEL model was developed by Professor Michael Shur and his team from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) [1]. A release of this model has been implemented within SmartSpice, and

Berkeley University BSIM3v3 model is the industry-standard, physics-based, deep-submicron MOSFET model for digital and analog circuit designs. This makes BSIM3v3 model a good candidate for implementation in Verilog-A HDL for

Normally a single active device model is extracted to cover a range of device geometries and temperature. Sometimes this single scalable model is not sufficient to describe all the changes

When you run a long simulation time analysis the evaluated time points are normally all held in memory until the end time is reached. All the data is then written

Guardian LVS from Silvaco is an efficient, reliable, and diverse package that brings the benefit of high-speed verification to PC-based test environments. Guardian netlist extractor, included with the Guardian suite,

Silvaco’s Guardian LVS tool compares two circuits that are defined by their netlists. The comparison is based strictly on the topological structure of these circuits. Topologically equivalent netlists are considered

I generated some layers in Expert by DRC script run, and after that, derived layers can not be cleaned by "Tools\Derived Layers\Clean Derived Layers\ Whole Project", otherwise, derived layers generated

Recent years has seen rapid acceleration in the research and development of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) as key components for active matrix displays, radio frequency identification tags, and many

Exact2 from Silvaco is a sophisticated, physically-based simulation tool for calculating semiconductor interconnect capacitance values. Its purpose is to build a capacitance coefficient database that is usable by any layout

This article addresses the creation of semiconductor laser double heterostructures, and the subsequent simulation of laser output with DevEdit from Silvaco. A laser consists of a gain medium sandwiched between

Computer simulation is used extensively to verify physical phenomena in semiconductor devices. Meshing plays an essential role in obtaining good simulation results. If care is not properly taken, serious errors
