Before circuit design can begin on any advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the electrical behavior of the devices — transistors, diodes, resistors — must be described accurately in so-called ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The Compact Model Council (CMC) has selected the PSP model, jointly developed by Pennsylvania State University and Royal Philips Electronics, as the next generation industry standard ...

Transistors are no doubt one of humankinds greatest inventions. However, the associated greatness brings with it unprecedented complexity under the hood. To fully understand how a transistor works, ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Si2 Compact Model Coalition has released important updates to the popular BSIM-Bulk standard, a compact SPICE model developed by researchers at the University of ...

LEUVEN, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magwel announces that TowerJazz has evaluated and qualified Magwel’s Power Transistor Modeling tool (PTM). TowerJazz is now providing PTM techfiles to facilitate ...

Field-effect transistors are key components of sensors, electrical circuits, or data storage devices. The transistors used to date have been mainly based on inorganic semiconductors such as silicon.

In our November 2019 blog [1], we discussed using virtual fabrication (SEMulator3D) to benchmark different process integration options for Complementary-FET (CFET) fabrication. CFET is a CMOS ...

Models are critical for IC design. Without them, it’s impossible to perform analysis, which in turn limits optimizations. Those optimizations are especially important as semiconductors become more ...

The Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) is a special partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder. PREP provides ...
