Taurus-Medici Medici User Guide. Synopsys

Version V-2003.12 — 1184 p.This document includes details for using Synopsys Taurus-Medici Medici.Discusses the execution of Medici, the required input files, the output files generated, and other files required to execute the program.
Provides a description of the Medici program. This includes the physical models, the numerical methods, and the simulation grid used by the program. It also describes the Advanced Application Modules that are optionally available for Medici.
Contains descriptions of the input statements recognized by Medici. The description of each statement includes a summary of the statement syntax, descriptions of the statement parameters, and a discussion of the use of the statement.
Presents examples that illustrate the simulation and analysis of an n-channel MOSFET.
Presents examples that illustrate the simulation and analysis of an NPN bipolar transistor.
Presents examples that illustrate the transient analysis capabilities of Medici by studying the turn-on characteristics of a PN diode. It also presents examples that illustrate the use and effect of external lumped elements and contact resistance.
Presents two examples that illustrate the photogeneration capabilities of Medici. The first example models a back-lit solar cell. The second is a simulation of single-event upset in an SRAM cell.
Illustrates the use of parameterized template files for the automatic creation and simulation of MOS and bipolar structures.
Presents examples that include the solution of the energy balance equation in the simulations. Both MOS and bipolar devices are studied.
Presents examples that illustrate the interfaces between Medici and the process simulation and parameter extraction programs.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Programmable Device AAM. For this purpose, the writing and erasing characteristics of a Flash EEPROM device are simulated.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Circuit Analysis AAM.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Lattice Temperature AAM.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Heterojunction Device AAM.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Trapped Charge AAM.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Optical Device AAM.
Presents examples that illustrate the use of the Anisotropic Material AAM.
Describes the structure and use of the parameterized template files for the automatic creation and simulation of MOS and bipolar devices.
Discusses Synopsys TCAD graphics and describes the mdpdev plot device definition file. This file contains information that controls use of the graphics output devices.
Describes the program enhancements in Medici, Revision 2003.12 relative to Revision 2003.06.
Describes the Technology Interchange Format (TIF) for interprogram communication.
Describes the format of the mask data files used by Medici. It is intended for use by experienced programmers, who wish to generate simple mask files by hand.
