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 different execution environments. Designed as a highly adaptive and truly hierarchical DRC system, Dragon is able to execute DRC scripts much faster than any flat DRC system in most real-life cases.
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 of both tools were tuned up to achieve essential reduction of running time while processing huge designs.
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 version tracking and team design coordination.
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 oxide is etched completely off after which there may be some diffusion cycles.
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 linearity, spatial sensitivity, and spectral response of a generalized silicon pixel structure using the Luminous module of the ATLAS device simulator.
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 technology.
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 models is becoming increasingly important as clock speeds approach and exceed the 1 GHz frequency range.
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 devices.
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 new models will be in two parts.
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 standard MESFET model, using the Level=7 model parameter. It is an incremental improvement based on TriQuint?s original MESFET model. All current analyses are currently supported (dc, ac, transient and noise).
