We introduce a new version of DETECT. DETECT is a Monte-Carlo simulator developed for the Computer Aided Design (CAD) of optical photon sensing devices. The simulator generates individual emission photons in specified locations of a photon-emitting device and tracks their passage and interactions in active and passive components of the system. Extensive options are available in the simulator to...

The increasing use of mixed signal circuits with analog and digital circuitry on the same lchip have created a set of demands that traditional circuit simuiators cannot meet very well. We pmsent techniques to efficiently handle the simulation of mixed signal analog/digital circuits, a d SYMPHONY , a fast mixed-signal simulator which embodies them. SYMPHONY combines a fast simulator for digital ...

In this paper, an analytical model for a vertical double implanted metal-oxide semiconductor (DIMOS) transistor structure in 4H-Silicon Carbide (SiC) is presented. Simulation for transport characteristics of the SiC MOSFET with the exact device geometry is carried out using the commercial device simulator MEDICI. A rigorous experimental testing and characterization is done on a 4H-SiC DIMOS tra...

State-of-the-art TCAD applications like the multidimensional device simulator MINIMOS-NT require a huge number of different information in addition to the device input data. This information is normally hierarchically structured and covers, e.g., simulation parameters, parameter dependencies, models and their parameters, material information, or circuit descriptions. Therefore, the control syst...

This paper presents Linux/SimOS, a Linux operating system port to SimOS, which is a complete machine simulator from Stanford. A complete machine simulator includes all the system components, such as CPU, memory, I/O devices, etc., and models them in sufficient detail to run an operating system. Therefore, a real program execution environment can be set up on the simulator to perform detailed sy...

This paper presents a performance study of UDP/IP, TCP/IP, and M-VIA using Linux/SimOS. Linux/SimOS is a Linux operating system port to a complete machine simulator SimOS. A complete machine simulator includes all the system components, such as CPU, memory, I/O devices, etc., and models them in sufficient detail to run an operating system. Therefore, a real program execution environment can be ...

State-of-the-art TCAD software like the multi-dimensional device and circuit simulator MINIMOSNT require a huge amount of information in addition to the device input data to control several different complex modules and tasks. This information is normally hierarchically structured containing arbitrary cross-relations and dependencies that include, e.g., material properties, circuit descriptions...

In this work, design of CMOS operational amplifiers (opamps) is discussed using a new technique of transistor sizing, called as Potential Distribution Method (PDM). PDM is a technique proposed to simplify analog design and is primarily based on voltage and current distribution at different nodes of a circuit. Apart from being technology independent, PDM is also free from complex mathematical ex...

To my parents, my sister, and to my wife Epidural anaesthesia is a form of medication injected through patients back into the epidural space of the spine. It is most commonly administered during childbirth and for pain relief following lower body surgery. The procedure involves insertion of a Tuohy needle and a catheter is guided through it into the epidural space 1. Anaesthesiologists insert t...

Haptic technology (sense of touch) along with 3D-virtual reality (VR) graphics, creating lifelike training simulations, was used to develop a dental training simulator system (PerioSim). This preliminary study was designed to evaluate whether faculty considered PerioSim realistic and useful for training and evaluating basic procedural skills of students. The haptic device employed was a PHANToM...
