Simulations show that gate fin shape variation results in significant changes in the leakage and driving capability of the device. We perform TCAD simulations of double-gate FinFET structures in order to analyze the effect of the gate fin body thickness (Tsi) variation on the electrical properties of the device. The thicknesses of the source and drain side are found to have different effects on the device. A simple model is proposed using the threshold voltage change due to the thickness variation along the gate fin. Simulation results show that the models match well with Ion and Ioff within 1.3% and 4.8% errors, respectively. In addition, we propose an optimal fin body shape to reduce the leakage current while providing a similar driving current to that in the nominal FinFET.","PeriodicalId":181205,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120964917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This initial phase is usually made using some kind of behavior modeling. The development of an ADC simulator requires the behavior modeling of the basic building blocks and their possible interconnections to form the final converter. This paper presents a Pipeline ADC simulator tool (SCALES) which allows topology selection and digital calibration of the frontend blocks. Several block non-linearity's are included in the simulation, such as thermal noise, capacitor mismatch, gain and offset errors, parasitic capacitances, settling errors and other error sources.

Finding the optimum number of temperature monitors and their location on the chip surface to optimize accuracy is an NP-hard problem. In this work we improve the modeling of the problem by including area, power and networking constraints along with the consideration of three inaccuracy terms: spatial errors, sampling rate errors and monitor-inherent errors. The problem is solved by the simulated annealing algorithm. We apply the algorithm to a test case employing three different types of monitors to highlight the importance of the different metrics.

High-level models are being substantially used as the reference for implementation of the Register Transfer Level (RTL) counterpart of the designs. In that respect, Matlab/Simulink is one of the adopted high level modeling platforms in the IC design industry. However, checking the formal equivalence of the models with their RTL counterparts is still an area of interest to be investigated. In this study, a methodology addressing that matter is proposed. Simulink models of interest in this paper comprise built-in Simulink blocks, Stateflow blocks modeling the state machines, and user-defined blocks. Proposed methodology utilizes Simulink's Hardware Design Language (HDL) Coder and Real Time Workshop (RTW) tools, Mentor Graphics' Catapult, and Synopsys' Formality in the flow. Building of the methodology is explained with a simple example. Then the methodology is applied to multiple designs, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to verify its applicability.","PeriodicalId":181205,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD)","volume":"29 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132089020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand we announce a statistical method for reducing circuit equations with parameter variations. Combining both we generate symbolic behavioral models of real-world analog circuits under process variations.

Our methodology is based on first characterizing the leakage power of basic stacks and then estimating the subthreshold leakage power of gates based on these stacks. We develop support vector machine (SVM) based macromodels to characterize the transistor stacks of cmos gates, while accounting the combined effect of process variation in length (L), threshold voltage (Vth), oxide thickness (Tox), supply voltage (0.6v-1.2v), temperature (0°C-100°C) and width (45nm-200nm) scalable at the same time. Our experiments show that we only need 30 stack models to predict the subthreshold leakage power of 7 basic gates across 58 input combinations. SVM based models have the ability to predict the leakage power with maximum average error of less than 0.634% in mean for 4 input NOR gate and maximum average error of 1.952% in standard deviation for 3 input NOR gate. Our results also show that there is on the average 17× improvement in runtime for estimating the mean and standard deviation of leakage power of a gate with 5000 Monte Carlo simulations.","PeriodicalId":181205,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD)","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115499827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
