Simulating Negative Bias Temperature Instability of p-MOSFETS

The degradation of MOSFET devices having relatively thin oxide layers is generally accepted as being mainly associated with the depassivation of silicon dangling bonds at the Si/SiO2 interface. These dangling

Coupled Optimization of Diode and IGBT Characteristics Under Clamped Inductive Switching in ATLAS MixedMode and Virtual Wafer Fab (VWF)

Virtual Wafer Fab’s powerful range of optimizers are used to investigate and minimise the coupled switching losses of a TCAD IGBT and its clamping diode in a chopper circuit. It

Using Manual Refinement of Geometrical Mesh in VICTORY Process

VICTORY Process is a 3D process simulation tool which employs the LevelSet technique for manipulating and deforming structures. The structure’s geometry is stored implicitly on the hierarchy of regular (constant
