The rise of AI has created an almost insatiable appetite for computing power. Training and running AI systems requires vast ...

Abstract: The Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE), introduced in 1973, laid the foundation for transistor-level netlist representation. Over the decades, numerous SPICE ...

KAIST researchers have developed a simulation-based method to predict how small future transistors can become before quantum effects begin to interfere with their operation, a breakthrough that could ...

Abstract: In this work, we propose a novel post-layout netlist simplification, modeling, and agile electromigration (EM) analysis framework. First, we implement a hierarchical parasitic extraction ...

As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller ...
