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 ...

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 ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run ...

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.

High-voltage MOSFETs are indispensable components in power electronics, where they are required to manage substantial voltages with high efficiency and reliability ...

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 ...
