WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The ...

Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...

(Nanowerk News) A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The work ...

San Francisco After months of intense and reportedly often heated debate, the Compact Model Council has selected a new industry standard CMOS transistor model. Jointly developed by Pennsylvania State ...

As chips get smaller and smaller, they grow intensely hot, power-hungry and unreliable. Furthermore, at the nano-regime (10 nanometers and smaller; 5,000 times thinner than a strand of hair), the ...

Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...
