UNIK4370 – Device modelling and circuit simulation
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
This is a course on modelling of electronic devices with emphasis on applications in circuit simulation. The main topics are: Physical foundation of semiconductor devices; charge control; threshold voltage; sub-threshold phenomena; mobility; velocity saturation; short-channel effects; parasitics; physically based modelling of common devices such as Si MOSFET (CMOS), GaAs MESFET, HEMT, and bipolar transistors; strength and weaknesses of the models; parameter extraction; application of the models in SPICE-type circuit simulators.
Learning outcome
To give insight in the field of modelling of electronic devices with emphasis on applications in circuit simulation.
