Abstract :
A fast and efficient technique for the small-signal analysis of semiconductor devices from physical simulations is presented. Small-signal parameters are obtained by the use of the Sinusoidal Steady-State Method. The new technique reduces the order of the overall problem to the same order of the dependent variables for a DC simulation wich produces a saving of nearly 50% of computer CPU time over the conventional method.
