Mesh control in process simulators is one of the major issues tackled by any user. Over the years the meshing algorithms with SSuprem4 and ATHENA have been improved to the stage where most arbitrary structures can be solved. New approaches such as automated ADAPTIVEMESH algorithms or standalone programs such as DevEdit exist to help users.
Q: How can external tools be run inside of Silvaco’s run-time environment DeckBuild? Is it possible to include UNIX commands along with simulator syntax inside an input file?
The SmartSpice interface to the Cadence Design Framework II has been substantially improved in its latest release (version 1.0.8.R), following feedback from a number of existing users.
Taveren Technology, Inc., a startup company based in Austin, Texas is busy developing the next generation performance characterization tool suite.
SmartSpice provides many unique and powerful features to facilitate parametric analysis in general and cell characterization in particular.
The BSIM3v3.1 SPICE model has become an industry standard for modeling deep-submicron MOS technologies. The model is suitable for both digital and analog applications because of the better modeling of the output conductances and the physics based scaling which is embedded in the model equations.
