Floating Gate Memory Simulator

PROtutor

MOS Characteristics tutor

The double-gate MOS has been introduced in MICROWIND for the simulation of non-volatile memories such as EPROM, EEPROM and FLASH. The command "UV exposure" erases floating gates and removes all electrons. The programming is performed by a very high voltage supply on the gate (7V in 0.12m), a 1.2V voltage difference between drain and source. Some electrons are sufficiently accelerated to pass through the gate oxide by hot tunneling effect.

A valuable screen to understand the MOS characteristics, with a user interface that designers will like. Change the model parameters and see their effects on Id/Vd, Id/Vg Id(log)/Vg, threshold vs. length. You can also fit the simulations with measurements we made in test-chips fabricated in 0.35, 0.25 and 0.18m. In the manual, a tutorial on MOS models is given, with details on all parameters. MICROWIND supports MOS models 1, 3 and BSIM4.

VirtualFab

Cross sectional and 3D Viewer

You will never teach deep-sub micron technology like before. As VirtualFab offers you a facility to analyze and view cross sectional view of silicon layers and 3D view of circuits. With MICROWIND v3.5 VirtualFab enables to draw real-time images of the layout and navigate in full-3D on the surface or inside the IC. This command is based on OpenGL and offers outstanding picture quality. The user can modify the viewing position in X,Y,Z and play with light sources to create illustrative views of the layout.
