ABSTRACT
Computer-aided simulation is a powerful aid during the design or analysis of electronic circuits and
semiconductor devices. The first part of this chapter focuses on analog circuit simulation. The second part
covers simulations of semiconductor processing and devices. While the main emphasis is on analog circuits,
the same simulation techniques may, of course, be applied to digital circuits (which are, after all, composed of
analog circuits). The main limitation will be the size of these circuits because the techniques presented here
provide a very detailed analysis of the circuit in question and, therefore, would be too costly in terms of
computer resources to analyze a large digital system.
