  • Method for substrate noise analysis
    Patent number: 8627253
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for substrate noise analysis comprises using a first processor based system, creating and simulating a circuit schematic comprising a multi-terminal model of a transistor, and thereafter, creating a layout based on properties represented in the circuit schematic and simulation results of the simulating. The multi-terminal model comprises a source terminal, a gate terminal, a drain terminal, a body terminal, and a guard-ring terminal.
    Type: Grant
