This paper presents a parameterized simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) model of a two-level microbolometer based on negative-temperature-coefficient thin films, such as vanadium oxide or amorphous silicon. The proposed modeling begins from the electric-thermal analogy and is realized on the SPICE modeling environment. The model consists of parametric components whose parameters are material properties and physical dimensions, and can be used for the fast design study, as well as for the co-design with the readout integrated circuit. The developed model was verified by comparing the obtained results with those from finite element method simulations for three design cases. The thermal conductance and the thermal capacity, key performance parameters of a microbolometer, showed the average difference of only 4.77% and 8.65%, respectively.

금속-강유전체-반도체 전계효과 트랜지스터 (MFS/MFISFET)의 동작 특성을 technology computer-aided design (TCAD)과 simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE)를 결합하여 전산모사하는 방법을 제시하였다. 복잡한 강유전체의 동작 특성을 수치해석을 이용하여 해석한 다음, 이를 이용하여 금속-강유전체-반도체 구조에서 반도체 표면에 인가되는 표면 전위를 계산하였다. 계산된 TCAD 변수인 표면 전위를 전계효과 트랜지스터의 SPICE 모델에서 구한 표면 전위와 같다고 보고게이트 전압에 따른 전류전압 특성을 구할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 방법은 향후 MFS/MFISFET를 이용한 메모리소자의 집적회로 설계에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

A simple memristor model is proposed for the neuromorphic system in the Simulation Program for Integrated Circuits Emphasis (SPICE). The memristive I-V characteristics with different voltage and frequencies were analyzed. And with the model, we configured a learning and inference system with 4 by 4 memristor array to show the practical use of the model. We examined the applicability by configuring the simplest neuromorphic circuit. The total simulation time for the proposed model was 18% lesser than that for the one-memristor model. When compared with more memristor models in a circuit, the time became even shorter.

Although the compact capacitance model of point tunneling types of tunneling field-effect transistors (TFET) has been proposed, those of line tunneling types of TFETs have not been reported. In this study, a compact capacitance model of an L-shaped TFET (LTFET), a line tunneling type of TFET, is proposed using the previously developed surface potentials and current models of P- and L-type LTFETs. The Verilog-A LTFET model for simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) was also developed to verify the validation of the compact LTFET model including the capacitance model. The SPICE simulation results using the Verilog-A LTFET were compared to those obtained using a technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) device simulator. The current-voltage characteristics and capacitance-voltage characteristics of N and P-LTFETs were consistent for all operational bias. The voltage transfer characteristics and transient response of the inverter circuit comprising N and P-LTFETs in series were verified with the TCAD mixed-mode simulation results.

A dynamic analysis of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) pixel is presented using new a-Si TFT and liquid crystal (LC) capacitance models for a Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) simulator. This dynamic analysis will be useful when predicting the performance of LCDs. The a-Si TFT model is developed to accurately estimate a-Si TFT characteristics of a bias-dependent gate to source and gate to drain capacitance. Moreover, the LC capacitance model is developed using a simplified diode circuit model. It is possible to accurately predict TFT-LCD characteristics such as flicker phenomena when implementing the proposed simulation model.

We propose simple analog MOS circuits producing the one-dimensional compact motion-sensing circuits. In the proposed circuit, the optical flow is computed by a number of local motion sensors which are based on biological motion detectors. Mimicking the structure of biological motion detectors made the circuit structure quite simple, compared with conventional velocity sensing circuits. Extensive simulation results by a simulation program of integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) indicated that the proposed circuits could compute local velocities of a moving light spot and showed direction selectivity for the moving spot
