There's been a shift in what's needed in modeling standards for IC design. The focus has moved from timing to power consumption. Timing modeling, which dominated much of the effort from the early to ...

Power, heat, and their combined effects on aging and reliability, are becoming increasingly critical variables in the design of chips that will be used across a variety of new and existing markets. As ...

Power is becoming a more important aspect of semiconductor design, but without an industry standard for power models, adoption is likely to be slow and fragmented. That is why Si2 and the IEEE decided ...

A SPICE model based on the BSIM3 core eliminates shortcomings in the existing level 1 and level 3 subcircuit models, enabling better simulation of trench-type power MOSFETs. An improved SPICE model ...
