Application of Genetic Algorithm to Compact Model Parameter Extraction

Cai X., Wang H., Gu X., Gildenblat G., Bendix P., Penn State University, US

The total number of model parameters in compact MOSFET models is usually between 50 and 300, necessitating an elaborate extraction process. Gradient-based optimization techniques were found to be useful but somewhat limited in their scope. [...]

Substrate Current in Surface-Potential-Based Compact MOSFET Models

Gu X., Wang H., Chen T.L., Gildenblat G., Penn State University, US

A new substrate current model was developed which retains the simplicity of the original one but is applicable to all regions of the MOSFET operation with asymtotically correct behaviors and is well suited for use [...]

Mesoscopic Breathing Sphere Model for Computer Simulation of Laser Ablation and Damage

Zhigilei L.V., Garrison B.J., Penn State University, US

A breathing sphere model has been developed for molecular dynamics simulations of laser ablation of organic solids. The novel feature of this model is an approximate representation of the internal molecular motion, which permits a [...]
