Q: To simplify netlist extraction, I specify one kind of diffusion resistors in my layout by means of a special resistor definition layer. To my surprise, the extracted value for

A parameterized cell (P-Cell) is a cell with user-specified parameters. It is possible to create customized p-cell instances with different composition according to parameter values. Using P-Cells gives a considerable

Dragon DRC is a new advanced hierarchical DRC system. The design principles this system is based on are carefully selected to ensure that Dragon DRC will deliver maximum performance in

The latest release of Layout versus Schematic tools from CELEBRITY CAD suite (Maverick full-chip parametric netlist extractor and Guardian hierarchical netlist comparator) delivers a number of significant advances. The engines

The DVCS subsystem of CELEBRITY CAD suite provides significant improvement in management of complex designs, design reuse and teamwork management. The most important features of DVCS are the means for

Q. When I simulate my process flow the simulated profile is always lower than the SRP measurements. What could be causing this? A. In many simulated process flows the surface

The rapid evolution of modern photonic devices in digital photographic and detection systems creates a need for physically-based simulation of charge collection and transfer. In this article we show the

This article will present an efficient and original methodology for global and predictive modeling of low energy Boron, BF2 and Arsenic ion implantation, in the suitable range for sub-100nm CMOS

A primary use of QUEST is intended to be for extracting frequency dependent transmission line models for use in SPICE circuit simulations. The generation of SPICE parameters for transmission line

Q. How can I extract VBIC bipolar model parameters using UTMOST III? A. UTMOST III Bipolar module can be utilized to extract and optimize the VBIC model parameters for bipolar

With the advent of ever increasing operation frequencies, Silvaco is introducing a new high frequency model for MOSFETs that will be implemented into the SmartSpice code. This article describing these

Until now, SmartSpice has supported the TriQuint model designated TOM using the Level=5 model parameter. SmartSpice now supports the TriQuint-2 MESFET model designated TOM-2. This model is accessible as a
