Abstract

An automatic engine built in the Java language designs transistors in few and easy steps. The results come from a combination of parameter extraction and simple analytical models that address the short-channel effects by referring them to the early voltage. The outcome is precise output conductance, thermal noise coefficient and thermal noise from a friendly graphical user interface. Design and simulations of common-source amplifiers show the efficiency of the automation.
