AMBA is a set of interconnect specifications that standardizes on chip communication mechanisms between various functional blocks (or IP) for building SOC designs. Silvaco’s AMBA AHB subsystems provide the basic interconnect and functional subsystems enabling…
Many TFT technologies in the market today are based on 4-terminal devices. In contrast, the SPICE simulators from other vendors can only support 3-terminal TFT compact models. Although one can model a 4-terminal TFT device…
Silicon IGBT and SiC MOSFETs are today’s key power semiconductor switches for many power electronics converters such as those in automotive, renewables and industrial applications. Both device concepts continue to evolve, and development trends are…
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…
In this webinar we will examine some of the key features and advantages of Utmost IV for device modeling and characterization, and the major design flows where Utmost IV is a key component. We will…
Gallium Nitride based devices are highly attractive for both RF and power switching applications due to a combination of outstanding materials properties. However, although the basic principles are well understood and can now be accurately…
Physical Verification is the most critical stage of IC design. SmartDRC/LVS is a new physical verification tool for analog, digital and mixed-signal ICs including design rule checks (DRC), layout connectivity extraction and layout vs schematic…
FinFET technologies have enabled designs with increased density and performance while reducing power, when compared to MOSFET. However, this comes at a cost of increased design complexity. Not only are some undesirable layout dependent effects…
ictory Mesh is Silvaco’s TCAD solution for device meshing and solid modeling. Victory Mesh creates suitable meshes from process structures for device simulation. For example, the results produced by process simulation software, such as Victory…
