Anyone working at advanced IC geometries is familiar with the bad news: transistor leakage currents are going up, and intermetal parasitic capacitance is going up. Put the two together, and you have a ...

Researchers have unveiled an innovative approach to create flexible organic integrated circuits (ICs) devoid of parasitic capacitance. This advancement heralds a substantial enhancement in the dynamic ...

A lot of researchers are out there working to put an end to the "silicon" in Silicon Valley. That is, they're looking for an electronics material that both conducts electricity better and allows for ...

Ever since the idea of building electronic systems using integrated circuits (ICs) was born in 1949, technology has evolved swiftly. Moving from small to very-large-scale integration, transistor count ...

The semiconductor technology simulation world is typically divided into device-level TCAD (technology CAD) and circuit-level compact modeling. Larger EDA companies provide high-level design simulation ...

As the Semiconductor industry is growing so does the density of devices on chip. With the increasing density and decreasing spacing rules, the most significant effect that takes birth is parasitic.

As nanometer design projects become more commonplace, the side effects of shrinking process geometries also will grow familiar. The emergence of significant interconnect parasitic elements is chief ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230314495A1) describes a capacitance measurement circuit that includes an analog front-end circuit, a parasitic capacitor, an analog to digital ...
