Addressing simulation of electrical and optoelectronic circuits considering multidisciplinary issues

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Growing markets for personal digital assistants, smart phones and personal computers in our present day information society has increased the need for greater processing power while maintaining miniature device form factors. This has placed an enormous burden on the design community to design faster circuits with better performance in a smaller area. In addition, owing to miniature feature sizes and massive integration, effects pertaining to distinct physics disciplines have started to surface together in modern devices. Commercial design tools built on traditional simulation engines are mostly restricted to analysis in a single discipline and are incapable of capturing the multi-disciplinary nature of these effects. Availability of reliable tools that facilitate multi-disciplinary simulation of devices and systems is essential in future design shops and can aid the design community to produce products with better quality in a cost-effective manner.
