Silicon or general semiconductor device and sensor simulation/modeling is demanded by both, academia and industry. Nowadays, the increase in costs and resources for both domains require strategies to reduce those. This means to investigate new technologies and/or use cases during research and development by simulation/modeling, e.g. process corners by calibrated process simulations. These strategies allow in academia and industry for faster prototyping in all development phases to enhance yield, lower costs, decrease wafer fab process duration, improve technologies, and many more. In this lecture, typical examples of research and industry are presented. Key aspects during simulation/modeling are discussed by several examples.

Automatic synthesis of analog and Radio Frequency (RF) circuits is a trending approach that requires an efficient circuit modeling method. This is due to the expensive cost of running a large number of simulations at each synthesis cycle. Artificial intelligence methods are promising approaches for circuit modeling due to their speed and relative accuracy. However, existing approaches require a large amount of training data, which is still collected using simulation runs. In addition, such approaches collect a whole separate dataset for each circuit topology even if a single element is added or removed. These matters are only exacerbated by the need for post-layout modelingsimulations, which take even longer. To alleviate these drawbacks, in this paper, we present FuNToM, a functional modeling method for RF circuits. FuNToM leverages the two-port analysis method for modeling multiple topologies using a single main dataset and multiple small datasets. It also leverages neural networks which have shown promising results in predicting the behavior of circuits. Our results show that for multiple RF circuits, in comparison to the state-of-the-art works, while maintaining the same accuracy, the required training data is reduced by 2.8x - 10.9x. In addition, FuNToM needs 176.8x - 188.6x less time for collecting the training set in post-layout modeling.

Autonomous driving and vehicular networking have gained traction during the last decade. simulation is one of the major tools for assessing coordination mechanisms (e.g. intersection control), especially when considering autonomous vehicles. This study proposes a simulation framework for researching MAS-based coordination mechanisms. The framework includes three main components for accurately replicating the scenario, namely a traffic simulator for modeling vehicle dynamics and interactions, a network simulator modeling vehicular networks and a BDI-based agent simulator for modeling cognitive decision-making abilities. We perform a preliminary analysis of the framework to assess its capability to cope with average complexity coordination mechanisms in connected and autonomous vehicle settings.

Interactive traffic simulation is crucial to autonomous driving systems by enabling testing for planners in a more scalable and safe way compared to real-world road testing. Existing approaches learn an agent model from large-scale driving data to simulate realistic traffic scenarios, yet it remains an open question to produce consistent and diverse multiagent interactive behaviors in crowded scenes. In this work, we present InterSim, an interactive traffic simulator for testing autonomous driving planners. Given a test plan trajectory from the ego agent, InterSim reasons about the interaction relations between the agents in the scene and generates realistic trajectories for each environment agent that are consistent with the relations. We train and validate our model on a large-scale interactive driving dataset. Experiment results show that InterSim achieves better simulation realism and reactivity in two simulation tasks compared to a state-of-the-art learning-based traffic simulator.

We study interconnect metallization options in advanced logic BEOL. Our goal is to choose interconnect materials and process integration options that will reduce RC delay and improve electrical performance. We use process modeling and electrical simulation methods to investigate the impact of metal materials, process variations and LER on the resistance and capacitance of interconnects. Three metal material options are selected, including conventional Cu and Co schemes along with barrier-less Ru. These metal choices are benchmarked to compare and choose the best material and dimensional attributes for advanced Logic BEOL, where traditional scaling may exacerbate RC delay and degrade performance.

We present a wet wafer surface processing chain model that allows process engineers to optimize their technological processes concerning total process time. As an example, we study the water layer thickness on wafers from rinsing to the conditions directly before bonding. As part of this process, we focus on simulations of the wafer temperature change in a bond chamber during evacuation. The gas temperature change is calculated using a literature-known model. With this, the wafer surface temperature and the temperature profile along the symmetry axis of the wafer are calculated using Newton's law of cooling and the heat equation, respectively.

With the increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution network, the high proportion of grid-connected DG not only brings many advantages to the operation of the distribution grid, but also puts forward higher requirements for the efficiency of simulationmodeling. In this paper, an equivalent modeling method suitable for protection setting calculation is proposed for the distribution network with large-scale T-connected B-type inverter-interfaced DG. Firstly, the DGs located in the same protection zone are divided into the same area. Then, the equivalent modeling of multiple DGs in each area is carried out with a single DG, and the influence of the access location and capacity of each DG on the steady-state short-circuit current at the protection is fully considered. The position of the equivalent modeling is determined by calculating the weighted relationship between the capacity and distance of each DG. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed equivalent method is verified based on the improved ieee30 node system on MATLAB.

Due to deeply intertwined physical and hardware/software components together with an increasing number of interconnected heterogeneous devices powered by artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, the design complexity of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) becomes skyrocketing. Model-driven engineering (MDE) methods have been proven to be effective in increasing the productivity of CPS design. However, there is still a lack of MDE approaches that enable design space exploration as well as the code generation for the design of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT)-based CPSs. To mitigate the situation, this article presents a unified modeling language named AIoTML for AIoT-based CPSs, which enables the construction of AI-based components across different modeling levels for the purposes of intelligent sensing and control. By extending the constructs of state-of-the-art domain-specific language (DSL) ThingML, AIoTML can seamlessly unify the modeling of both autonomous executions of AIoT devices and their surrounding physical environment, which facilitates both platform-independent simulation and control optimization for platform-specific CPSs. The compiler developed for AIoTML provides a family of code generators to support the construction of digital twins on various heterogeneous target AIoT platforms. Comprehensive evaluations on two complex real-world designs demonstrate the effectiveness of our AIoTML approach in the fast development of AIoT-based CPSs with high control quality.
