Developing compact models for emerging devices and materials to enable extreme-environment electronics, accelerating design technology co-optimization (DTCO) through ML/AI-based solutions, and integrating process flows into scalable process design kits (PDKs).
Integrating wide-bandgap CMOS processes with AI-enabled EDA is essential for next-generation high-temperature electronics. Our research focuses on developing scalable wide-bandgap CMOS technologies, including process flow optimization, device design, CMOS-compatible process integration, compact modeling, and design rule development. We leverage machine learning and AI-driven automation to accelerate design technology co-optimization (DTCO), enabling faster technology development and efficient solutions for high-temperature computing systems. In addition, we explore SiC-based CMOS and AlScN-based memory technologies for robust, energy-efficient operation in extreme environments.
Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) stands out as a scalable ferroelectric material that combines robust polarization behavior with back-end-of-line (BEOL) process compatibility. Its compatibility with semiconductor fabrication processes has generated significant interest; however, comprehensive device models for AlScN-based capacitors are still lacking. Our group investigates the device behavior, capacitance–voltage (C–V) and current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, and develops SPICE compact models for AlScN-based devices to enable accurate circuit-level simulation
