Electronic systems keep getting more complex. Much of the complexity comes from ICs, which can undergo years of design and validation cycles before reaching the market. System design engineering teams ...

Process engineers and integrators can use virtual process modeling to test alternative process schemes and architectures without relying on wafer-based testing. One important aspect of building an ...

Many older linear devices, especially operational amplifiers (op amps) do not have a SPICE macro model. Even when they do, older models typically use a Boyle macro model which, by today’s standards, ...

Novel semiconductor technologies are creating complex process flows, which are needed to support the manufacturing of advanced 3D semiconductor structures. It can be helpful to model process flows, ...

An operations planning and economics improvement project at ConocoPhillips's Lake Charles, La., refinery successfully developed and implemented high-quality kinetic process models used for unit ...
