Abstract
This thesis focuses on the Latency Insertion Method (LIM) for high-speed link and IC simulation. LIM is a transient simulation algorithm for circuits. Compared to Modified Nodal Analysis (MNA) methods such as SPICE, LIM exhibits linear computational complexity, which makes it faster than almost all the commercial software, especially for large-scale circuits. For high-speed link simulation, the LIM method for eye diagram simulation are first presented for both situations without and with crosstalk. The proposed method is compared to commercial software to prove that LIM can provide accurate and fast eye diagram simulations. For IC simulation, this thesis focuses on the latest technology that is 3-D FinFET. We presented LIM algorithms for both DC and transient FinFET simulation. By implementing the BSIM-CMG compact model, accurate and fast simulations can be achieved.
