How Silvaco TCAD is at the Heart of Innovation in RF Devices
At high frequency, the accurate modeling of parasitic elements is crucial to IC design. Substrate behavior is a significant contributor to such parasitics, and its modelling is a challenge, not only under small-signal conditions due to strongly non-uniform resistivity profiles in semiconductor materials, but especially under large-amplitude excitations. In this work, Silvaco’s TCAD Victory Device… Read More »How Silvaco TCAD is at the Heart of Innovation in RF Devices
