Abstract :
Capabilities for analog modeling of advanced transistors are demonstrated based on tools and techniques developed specifically to support technology development. In addition, providing support for more accurate analog modeling, there is the opportunity to predict technology dependencies and therefore to selectively target technology optimization for analog performance. The term "technology files" is well-known among circuit designers and specifically means the relevant circuit modeling information that contains technology dependencies. Technology computer-aided design (TCAD) provides powerful analog capabilities to directly predict not only the technology files but also a wide range of other critical behavior information about devices and circuits that depend directly on technology.
