Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

Before circuit design can begin on any advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the electrical behavior of the devices — transistors, diodes, resistors — must be described accurately in so-called ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...

Why silk is being used for bio-compatible transistors. How the silk is transformed to develop the transistor function. The two types of operation provided by the silk-based transistor. Silicon and ...
