A SPICE model for single electronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
With single-electron tunneling (SET) technology it is possible to build electronic circuits with extreme low power properties. These SET circuits must therefore operate in the single electronics (current) regime. To simulate SET circuits in this regime, a SPICE model has been written. In contrast to the prescriptions in the so-called Orthodox theory of single-electronics, the SPICE model explores the discrete character of the tunnel current and the tunnel condition. In this paper a brief description of this SPICE model is given. Several known SET circuits are simulated using this SPICE model and are verified with a well known SET device simulator called SIMON, which is based on the Orthodox theory of single-electronics.

Simulating SET circuits using SPICE
With single-electron tunneling (SET) technology it is possible to build electronic circuits with extreme low power properties. These SET circuits must therefore operate in the single electronics (current) regime. To simulate SET circuits in this regime, a SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) model has been written In contrast to, the prescriptions in the so-called Orthodo...
متن کاملSPICE simulation of single - electron electronics compared to measurement results
In this article three well known singleelectron tunnelling (SET) circuits are discussed. Both measurement results and simulation results on the three SET circuits are shown. The simulation results were obtained using a SPICE model for a single SET junction. The experimental data from SET circuits is used for validation purposes of the SPICE model. The SPICE model performed good on all experimen...
متن کاملOn the validity of the standard SPICE model of the diode for simulation in power electronics
A systematic study of the standard SPICE model of the diode in the case of simulations of power diodes in power electronic applications shows the limits of accuracy with respect to experiments. Therefore, the interest in such a model in power electronic applications is comparable to the high–low resistance model.
متن کاملSpice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
