Simplify Simulation With Reduced-Order Modeling
By Jennifer Procario - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

One of the biggest challenges in engineering and design is striking a balance between accuracy and speed. Development teams strive for precision but must often accelerate their simulation and computational workflows to meet production demands. Although physics-based, high-fidelity simulations are highly accurate, they are computationally expensive in terms of time and resources due to their com... » read more

Measurements and Simulation-Based Characterization Of eFuses
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 11 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

In conventional safety systems, the off state can be assumed to be safe. With ADAS, this is no longer automatically the case. This makes it necessary to adopt new approaches to fuse protection, which will subsequently spread to other industries. Traditionally, the vehicle electrical system was protected by sacrificial fuses. These reliably disconnect the power supply in the event of overcurr... » read more

Stress-Related Local Layout Effects In FinFET Technology And Device Design Sensitivity
By PDF Solutions - 10 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Transistor characteristics in advanced technology nodes are strongly impacted by devices design and process integration choices. Variation in the layout and pattern configuration in close proximity to the device often causes undesirable sensitivities known as Local Layout Effects (LLEs). One of the sensitivities is related to carrier mobility dependence on mechanical stress, modul... » read more

Modeling Flux-Quantizing Josephson Junction Circuits
By Keysight - 23 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

We introduce Josephson junction and inductor models in Keysight ADS that feature an auxiliary flux port, and facilitate the expression of flux quantization conditions in simulation of superconducting microwave circuits. We present several examples that illustrate our methodology for constructing flux-quantizing circuits, including dc- and rf-SQUIDs, tunable couplers, and parametric amplifiers u... » read more

Pressure Builds To Adopt Virtual Prototypes
By Brian Bailey - 26 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In the semiconductor industry, a virtual prototype is a model for a system at an abstraction level above RTL. But there is no such thing as 'the' virtual prototype. They are constructed for a partic... » read more

Making Electronics More Efficient
By Ed Sperling - 31 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Projections about the amount of energy required for AI in data centers and other electronic devices are putting a spotlight on more efficient electronics. But making chips and systems more efficient is an enormous challenge. It used to be as simple as turning down the voltage or moving to the next process node, but those approaches are no longer yielding the same kinds of benefits as in the pas... » read more

Large-Scale Integration’s Future Depends On Modeling
By Karen Heyman - 27 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

VLSI is a term that conjures up images of a college textbook, but some of the concepts included in very large-scale integration remain relevant and continue to evolve, while others have fallen by the wayside. The portion of VLSI that remains most relevant for semiconductor industry is "integration," which is pushing well beyond the edges of a monolithic planar chip. But that expansion also i... » read more
