摘要:
An RF-insensitive semiconductor slapper ignitor is created using a siliconubstrate having a first metallized portion centrally located on its bottom face to form a Schottky barrier diode thereon, and a second substantially smaller metallized portion centrally located on its top face to form a consumable plug. A flyer disc is disposed atop the second metallized portion and is propelled when the consumable plug vaporizes in response to the high current density associated with ignition. In various embodiments the flyer disc is either an insulating material such as plastic, or polyimide, or formed integral to a top contact metal layer.

System and method for compact model algorithms to accurately account for effects of layout-induced changes in nitride liner stress in semiconductor devices. The layout-sensitive compact model algorithms account for the impact of large layout variation on circuits by implementing algorithms for obtaining the correct stress response approximations and layout extraction algorithms for obtaining the correct geometric parameters that drive the stress response. In particular, these algorithms include specific information from search “buckets” that are directionally-oriented and include directionally-specific distance measurements for analyzing in detail the specific shape neighborhood of the semiconductor device. The algorithms are additionally adapted to enable the modeling and stress impact determination of a device having single stress liner film and dual-stress liners (two different liner films that abut at an interface).
摘要:
A method for calibrating a software model for a given structure of interest for a variable imposed by an adjacent structure. First determine the spatial extent of the variable imposed by the adjacent structure. Then assign a value to the spatial extent, which varies as a function of distance from the adjacent structure to the given structure. Finally, attach that value to the model of the given structure.

The invention provides a method, system, and program product for diagnosing an integrated circuit. In particular, the invention captures one or more images for each relevant circuit layer of the integrated circuit. Based on the image(s), a component netlist is generated. Further, a logic netlist is generated by applying hierarchical composition rules to the component netlist. The component netlist and/or logic netlist can be compared to a reference netlist to diagnose the integrated circuit. The invention can further generate a schematic based on the component netlist or logic netlist in which components are arranged according to port, power, and/or component pin connection information determined from the netlist. Further, the schematic can be displayed in a manner that wiring connections are selectively displayed to assist a user in intelligently arranging the circuit components.
