The paper presents a methodology for simulating the static and dynamic performance of integrated circuits in the presence of electro-thermal interactions on the integrated circuit die. The technique is based on the coupling of a FEM program with a circuit simulator. In difference to other known simulator couplings the time step algorithm is used. Its implementation into simulation tools is desc...

High resolution confocal imaging enables the study of structurefunction correlations linking molecular features of neurons to their functional output. However, current analysis and processing tools still require a very significant manual intervention, making it impractical or impossible to conduct the large-scale analysis which is often needed for integrated predictive models of single-cell and...

Nowadays, due to the increasing complexity of circuits and systems incorporating mixedsignal components, many designers recognise the advantages of, and in some cases the necessity for, mixed-signal modelling and simulation of the circuits and systems as a whole prior to, during and post production of the circuit or system. This is particularly so within the microelectronics (semiconductor) are...

This paper discusses the application of computational electromagnetics (CEM) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems of integrated circuits (ICs). It is known that the application of CEM is versatile in solving a wide range of problems. This paper focuses on the electromagnetic study of quad flat non-lead (QFN) packaged ICs, one monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and anothe...

a high accurate and low-voltage analog cmos current divider which operates with a single power supply voltage is designed in 0.18µm cmos standard technology. the proposed divider uses a differential amplifier and transistor in triode region in order to perform the division. the proposed divider is modeled with neural network while tlbo algorithm is used to optimize it. the proposed optimization...

Realization of a novel single-resistance-controlled oscillator, employing an active element and all grounded passive elements, is the purpose of this manuscript. With requirements for completing the design being only a single Voltage Differencing Current Conveyor and four grounded passive components, it is also a preferable choice for integrated circuit implementation. The designed circuit has ...

The following report introduces the notion of Statistical Static Timing Analysis and the reasons for its ongrowing necessity in current and future integrated circuit manufacturing. This paper is based on a presentation conducted during the MoscowBavarian Joint Advanced Student School in March 2009. Therefore, it serves as an extention to the slides by providing more thorough explanation to them...

temperature profile determination in soils under adverse conditions of variable heat capacity and conductivity is a rather hard task. the heat capacity and conductivity are moisture dependent and both vary with the soil density. moisture movement on the other hand is temperature dependent and so the two interact. no single mathematical formulae as yet exists for anticipating the temperature dis...
