This work is devoted to the three-dimensional modeling and evaluation of multi-electrode capacitive sensing, in an insulin pen used by diabetic persons, for insulin dose precise detection. To this purpose a fully parameterized model has been developed in ANSYS for the insulin pen containing a smart cap which hosts the electrodes, used for the capacitive measurement and therefore dose detection. Different electrode configurations have been evaluated, including 3, 4, 6 and 8 electrodes. The numerical values of the electrode capacitances have been extracted using Maxwell 3D for all the configurations proposed.

In this paper, a 2-dimentional (2-D) axisymmetric modeling is presented for biomedical circular printed circuit board (PCB) coils and solenoids in COMSOL Multiphysics. With this model, the number of required meshes in finite element method (FEM) based simulations is reduced, which speeds up the iterative design procedure of inductive links in biomedical implants. While having a good accuracy, the presented 2-D axisymmetric modeling reduces the extraction time of electromagnetic parameters of PCB coils and solenoids by about 90%, compared to 3-D modeling. In order to investigate the accuracy of presented 2-D modeling, we have fabricated a PCB coil and a solenoid with suitable geometries for implantation in body. The measurement results of electromagnetic parameters have a good agreement with the 2D modeling based simulation results, and they verify each other. Finally, using the presented 2-D modeling, a comprehensive parametric simulation has been performed to study the behavior of coupling coefficient (k) and the maximum achievable k of PCB coils as a function of geometric parameters.

Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is fundamental to guide design options in semiconductors industry. The increasing demand of early anticipation of manufacturing risks is leading to an improvement of CAE modeling on processes, focusing on Chip-Package Interaction (CPI). The integration of new materials, especially low-k dielectric, requires an increasingly deep understanding of thermo-mechanical stress affecting packaging processes and reliability. Moreover, stresses imposed by wire bonding process increase the risk of bond pad damage leading to cracks in the silicon structure. The aim of the presented work is the study of copper ball shape and its evolution during ball bonding phase to establish a new approach for the modeling of wire bonding. Finite Element Method (FEM) is developed and validated with experimental results obtained at different time intervals, on which the deformations occurred in the bonded copper ball has been measured.

An original method of modelling power devices is presented in this article. This method consists in generating a 3D electrothermal netlist from the knowledge of the device layout. Each element of the produced netlist is described thanks to the Verilog-A language which allows to describe both electrical and thermal effects. Thanks to that method, the DC characteristics of Schottky power diodes can be obtained, and full 3D transient electrothermal simulations can be done. Both DC characteristic and transient electro-thermal behaviours are obtained using a SPICE-like simulator. The simulations realised with our method are compared to conventional Technology Computer-Aided design (TCAD) simulations. It is shown that our approach allows simulating the behaviour of power diodes six times faster than with TCAD tools.

The structural response of power module bus bars under harmonic loads is considered using finite element method simulation. simulation parameters and boundary conditions are considered in terms of their effect on the accuracy of simulation results with relation to real life application. Vibrational analysis was found to be highly sensitive to geometry preparation and constraint in terms of both mechanical stress magnitude and location. Overall the simulation process was determined to be a valuable tool in terms of reducing time/cost involved in iteratively designing power module busbars to withstand mechanical vibration with relation to life time application as well as ultrasonic weld process.

This flexibility of extraction and by comparing circuit simulation results in terms of performance and *** has been used successfully as a CAD tool for the development of new models for high-speed optoelectronic integrated circuits.

Artificial intelligence techniques have been widely applied in many domains, such as image/sound/text recognition, manufacturing monitoring, etc. One of the requirements for an artificial intelligence modeling is massive datasets. However, it is often limited known in the beginning of the design phase. This paper studied the methods and the influence of building an artificial intelligence model from a limited number of inputs. The application of the artificial neural network (ANN) and the recurrent neural network (RNN) has been applied to the nonlinear mechanical FE, steady-state thermal FE and transient FE model, and a rather simple neural network model and accuracy/application of these models has been reported.

This paper investigates the sensitivity of inductive power transfer systems for electric vehicles battery charging. The goal of the analysis is to assess the impact of harmonics on the transferred power and on the efficiency, in order to define the main specifications for design and calibration of relevant measurement systems. The first harmonic approximation models of a Series/Series system and a Series-Parallel/Series system is developed to perform the analysis with respect to the variations of main operating parameters and coils mutual coupling. The resulting model predictions are validated by comparison with PSIM simulations.

The accurate modeling of weak avalanche breakdown of HBTs in compact bipolar transistor models for circuit simulation is presented. Based on various device electrical characteristics that are grouped into three classes, a modified VBIC avalanche multiplication model is proposed. By simply replacing one constant avalanche model parameter with current linear dependence, the new model predicts well broad behaviors of breakdown from weak avalanche up into high level injections.
