Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The ...

Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...

Three years ago, I wrote a blog entitled “Linking Virtual Wafer Fabrication Modeling with Device-level TCAD Simulation,” in which I described the seamless connection between the SEMulator3D virtual ...

Technologies that had become specialist tools are moving back into mainstream usage; shift left is not just about doing things earlier in the flow. A few decades ago, all designers did ...

As the digital semiconductor manufacturing process moves into the FinFET era, more and more front-end-of-line (FEOL) defects are observed due to extremely small feature size and complex manufacturing ...

Before a chip design is turned from a hardware design language (HDL) like VHDL or Verilog into physical hardware, testing and validating the design is an essential step. Yet simulating a HDL design is ...

GA, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This study presents a highly efficient thermal simulation method using a non-gray phonon Boltzmann ...

China-based EDA leader Empyrean Technology and Shanghai UniVista Industrial Software Group have jointly announced their collaboration to build a digital-analog mixed design and simulation EDA solution ...

The different IBIS quality levels. The steps in the IBIS bench measurement procedure. Process for Quality Level 2a and Level 2b validation. The Input/Output Buffer Information Specification (IBIS) is ...
