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 0.12µm), 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 0.18µm. 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.

ABOUT MICROWIND
MICROWIND is truly integrated EDA software encompassing IC
designs from concept to completion, enabling chip designers to
design beyond their imagination. MICROWIND integrates
traditionally separated front-end and back-end chip design into an
integrated flow, accelerating the design cycle and reduced design
complexities.
It tightly integrates mixed-signal implementation with digital
implementation, circuit simulation, transistor-level extraction and
verification – providing an innovative education initiative to help
individuals to develop the skills needed for design positions in
virtually every domain of IC industry.
DSCH
Schematic Editor and Digital Simulator
The DSCH program is a logic editor and simulator. DSCH is used to
validate the architecture of the logic circuit before the
microelectronics design is started. DSCH provides a user-friendly
environment for hierarchical logic design, and fast simulation with
delay analysis, which allows the design and validation of complex
logic structures.
DSCH also features the symbols, models and assembly support for
8051 and 16F84 controllers. Designers can create logic circuits for
interfacing with these controllers and verify software programs using
DSCH.
Highlights
l User-friendly environment for rapid design of logic circuits.
l Supports hierarchical logic design.
l Handles both conventional pattern-based logic simulation and
intuitive on screen mouse-driven simulation.
l Improved built-in extractor which generates a SPICE netlist from the
schematic diagram (Compatible with PSPICETM and WinSpiceTM).
l Generates a VERILOG description of the schematic for layout
conversion.
l Immediate access to symbol properties (Delay, fanout).
l Model and assembly support for 8051 and PIC 16F84
microcontrollers.
l Sub-micron, deep-submicron, nanoscale technology support.
l Supported by huge symbol library.
l Tool for fault analysis at the gate level of digital circuits.
