TCAD-based Process Dependant HSPICE Model Parameter Extraction

Mahotin Y., Tirumala S., Lin X-W, Pramanik D., Synopsys, Inc., US

This paper describes the methodology for global extraction of HSPICE compact model parameters as explicit polynomial functions of process parameter variations (halo dosage, gate oxidation temperature etc). Electrical data required for extraction is obtained from [...]

Accurate Lumped-Parameter modeling for Dynamic Simulation of Electrostatic MEMS Actuators

Pal Chaudhury S., Winick D., Franzon P., North Carolina State University, US

This paper introduces a novel approach of accurately modeling electrostatically actuated MEMS structures, using a lumped parameter electrical analogy based on voltage controlled de.es in Spice. This analysis takes into account the changes in capacitive [...]

Electrical Analogue of Capacitive Force-Balanced Accelerometer Used in HSPICE Simulator

Li Z., Wu G., Wang Y.Y., Peking University, CN

Analyzing mechanism of accelerometer, electrical analogue of capacitive force-balanced accelerometer used in HSPICE simulator has been developed. Comparing to the former equivalent circuit, we use acceleration instead of displacement as input variable. Thus we can [...]
