Free software support for compact modelling with Verilog-A
Informacije MIDEM 54, no. 4 (October 9, 2024)

Abstract: Verilog-A is the analog subset of Verilog-AMS - a hardware description language for analog and mixed-signal systems. Verilog-A is commonly used for the distribution of compact models of semiconductor devices. For such models to be usable a Verilog-A compiler is required. The compiler converts the model equations into a form that can be used by the simulator. Such compilers have been supplied with commercial simulators for many years now. Free software alternatives are much more scarce and limited in the features they offer. The paper gives an overview of Verilog-A, Free software Verilog-A compilers, and Free software/Open source simulators that can simulate compact models defined in Verilog-A. Advantages and disadvantages of individual compilers and simulators are highlighted.

ABOUT THE ROSMD 2024 PROGRAM 
Electronic devices serve as essential components in a wide range of applications. Recently, new semiconductor materials and devices have emerged as revolutionary technologies, leading the international research community. These advancements are driving the development of submicron technologies, reducing costs, and supporting key industries such as electronic information, energy, aerospace, and environmental protection. India has been actively involved in the semiconductor field for decades, with a history that dates back to notable scientists like Sir C. V. Raman and Sir J. C. Bose. Today, India is home to numerous research groups and VLSI foundries that significantly contribute to the global semiconductor landscape. The recent adoption of new materials and technologies has further enhanced the performance of semiconductor devices, allowing for a broader range of applications. In line with India's Atmanirbhar Bharat policy and semiconductor mission, many organizations are working towards the development of indigenous semiconductor technologies. This course aims to shed light on the current status and future potential of semiconductor materials and devices, both in India and around the world  <Read more...
