Design of Silicon-based Leaky-mode Resonant Nanopatterned Devices Using Inverse Numerical Methods

Shokooh-Saremi M., Magnusson R., Suleski T.J., Johnson E.G., University of Texas at Arlington, US

We present single-layer, silicon-based resonant leaky-mode elements implemented with periodic waveguide layers. This new device class has wide applicability in photonic devices and systems. Leaky waveguide modes can be exited when an incident light beam [...]

Parameter Extraction for Advanced MOSFET Model using Particle Swarm Optimization

Thakker R.A., Patil M.B., Anil K.G., Indian Institute of Technology, IN

In the sub 100-nm regime, MOSFET parameter extraction has become a challenging task. Commonly used gradient based methods have many difficulties such as good initial guess requirement, singularities in objective functions, etc. Genetic Algorithm (GA), [...]
