Power Electronic Module (PEM) design requires simultaneous analysis of thermal, electrical, and mechanical parameters to design an optimal layout. The current design process being used by package designers involves a sequential procedure instead of a simultaneous process. Each design step involves the analysis of the thermal, electrical or mechanical aspects of the design. As a result, the designe...Show More
Multi-chip power module design requires simultaneous analysis of thermal, electrical, and mechanical parameters to design an optimal layout. The current design process being used by package designers involves a sequential procedure that is time-consuming and requires multiple design runs. The existing Power-CAD methodology that automates the module design process and optimizes the layout has been ...Show More
Device modeling plays an important role in VLSI circuit design because computer-aided circuit analysis results are only as accurate as the models used. This indicates a need for robust tools that can facilitate the testing, validation and characterization procedure of semiconductor device models. Certify, the graphical tool for model characterization and validation, is a step in this direction [1]...Show More
