The verification process of designed modules is important at each step of a design process. In some cases standard methods for data analysis are insufficient, especially when the data representation are taken into assessment methods. In image processing systems based on FPGA there are various methods to support engineers in development of desired architecture. Some of them are based on scoping hardware signals in running device. It is also possible to scope signals in a simulation environment. In addition there are also high-level abstraction layer of data analysis methods based on Matlab, Python and similar tools. The unique image processing architecture developed by authors could not be upgraded with support of existing co-design methods. This is why stage-oriented, mixed design methodology was performed to support FPGA hardware development for faster prototyping and debugging with Vivado simulator tool and Python language. Presented approach was used to improve image processing design operating with ultra high resolution images (from 5 Mpix up to 70 Mpix).","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115116161","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}

Such extraction is usually performed by an optimization algorithm seeking device-parameter values that minimize the difference between the measured response and its simulated equivalent. The proposed approach needs only an average of 13 objective-function evaluations, i.e. device simulations, to extract three parameters of a single device. If the parameters of a group of devices of the same type are to be extracted, the average number of simulations drops to four per device. This number is much smaller than in conventional optimization procedures. Thus, the proposed procedure can be used even in the absence of an accurate compact model, when time-consuming TCAD simulation must be used to determine the device’s response.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122278697","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}

The measurement procedure must be carefully set up to analyze the dynamic channel response and the consistent/actual extraction of the device figures of merit (threshold voltage, on/off current ratio, contact resistance, transit frequency, etc). Device operation and bias conditions, historical stress (prefilled traps) and the impact of charge traps can have a strong influence on the device characteristics and their applications due to the affected device DC/AC parameters. The decrease/increase of the drain current when the biases are applied is associated to the effect of charge trapping/detrapping.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132700359","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}

The compact model shows a good fit in the current transfer curves for various drain-source voltages, trap densities, drain doping concentrations and different source materials. The current output curve and the output conductance stay also in good agreement with TCAD data. In the next step, the compact model is verified with the help of measurements of fabricated complementary TFET devices. During the verification process, limitations and advantages of the modeling approach are analyzed and discussed. The influence of TAT on a fabricated single-stage TFET inverter is investigated in a last verification step, whereby the numerical stability and flexibility of the model is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117327959","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}

Despite these predictions, the monetary benefit of growth has been driving massive research and pathways have been Lays found around those barriers. In 2011 a 3-D tri-gate transistor structure, FinFET, has been introduced into CMOS mainstream manufacturing which was a pathway replacing running out of steam planar technology. However, similarly to the planar technology now FinFET scaling is running out of steam due to difficult technological barriers and integration challenges.
