By using the physical variations of the fabrication environment, process and device simulations can be realized; thus the electrical variations of the devices can be obtained. This technique is expected to shorten time-to-market in different ways. To illustrate the idea, analysis of a 0.25um SiGe transistor and 1nH spiral inductor have been realized.","PeriodicalId":313866,"journal":{"name":"The Tenth International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941439","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}
