چکیده
echnology computer-aided design (TCAD) is the software tool set that allows integrated circuit T (IC) tech nologists to develop new processes and devices without having to build costly test lots. TCAD can potentially provide process engineers the same benefits that electronic circuit CAD (ECAD) has provided to circuit designers. Circuit designers can design, lay out. and test new circuits without fabricating them, and still largely be assured that the circuit will work when manufactured. Will the day

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
متن کاملHigh-Speed Ternary Half adder based on GNRFET
Superior electronic properties of graphene make it a substitute candidate for beyond-CMOSnanoelectronics in electronic devices such as the field-effect transistors (FETs), tunnel barriers, andquantum dots. The armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs), which have semiconductor behavior,are used to design the digital circuits. This paper presents a new design of ternary half a...
متن کاملWireless communication network design in IC factory
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is designed for an IC factory in Hong Kong using the hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGA). The HGA is capable of handling multiobjective functions and discrete constraints. Because of this uniqueness, together with the adopting of a Pareto ranking scheme, a solution can be reached even when skewed multiobjective functions and constraints confinements are bei...
متن کاملFACTS Devices Allocation Using a Novel Dedicated Improved PSO for Optimal Operation of Power System
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. In this paper, in order to find type, size and location of FACTS devices in a power system a Dedicated Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (DIPSO) algorithm is developed for de...
متن کاملTesting Asynchronous Circuits: Help is on the Way!
Testing of asynchronous circuits is considered to be a difficult task. The presence of asynchronous components in an Integrated Circuit (IC), let alone the whole IC itself, sends shivers into any test manager. This general sense of difficulty can be attributed to lack of understanding, lack of interest, lack of support from various players in the testing game including Automated Test Equipment ...
