technology module

Technology class to describe all technology dependencies. Main use is scaling.

If a technology can use TRADICA, the class DMT.TRADICA.TechTradica is recommended!

class DMT.core.technology.Technology(name)[source]

Bases: object

This abstract class shall bundle all relevant scaling and extraction routines that are specific for a given technologe.

Parameters:

namestr: Name of the technology

Attributes:

namestr: Name of the technology

create_mcard_library(lib, mcard, path, dut_type=<DMT.core.dut_type.DutTypeInt object>)[source]

Creates a file containing model cards for all sizes of duts present in the lib.

Parameters:

libDutLib
pathstr: File path to write to.
dut_typeDutType, optional: Dut types to create model cards for.

abstract get_bib_entries()[source]: bibliograpy entries of a technology

name = ''[source]

abstract print_tex(dut_ref, mcard)[source]

Prints a technology description, mainly used for autodocumentation reasons.

Parameters:

dut_refDutView`: Can be used to obtain tech quanties… (or to generate a TRADICA input file :) )
mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.

scale_all(mcard, lE0, bE0, nfinger, config)[source]

This method receives a Modelcard (that includes relevant scaling parameters such as sheet resistances) and sets the scaled values accordingly.

Parameters:

mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard or McParameterCompositon that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.
lE0float64: The length of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
bE0float64: The width of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
nfingerinteger: Number of emitter fingers.
configstr: A unique identifier for the configuration.

scale_capacitances(mcard, lE0, bE0, nfinger, config)[source]

This method receives a Modelcard (that includes relevant scaling parameters such as sheet resistances) and sets the scaled capacitances accordingly.

Parameters:

mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard or McParameterCompositon that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.
lE0float64: The length of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
bE0float64: The width of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
nfingerinteger: Number of emitter fingers.
configstr: A unique identifier for the configuration.

scale_currents(mcard, lE0, bE0, nfinger, config)[source]

This method receives a Modelcard (that includes relevant scaling parameters such as sheet resistances) and sets the scaled currents accordingly.

Parameters:

mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard or McParameterCompositon that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.

nfingerinteger: Number of emitter fingers.
configstr: A unique identifier for the configuration.

scale_modelcard(mcard: MCard, lE0: float, bE0: float, nfinger: int, config: str, dut: DutView | None = None, lE_drawn_ref: float | None = None, bE_drawn_ref: float | None = None) → MCard[source]

This method scales a already finished modelcard (no sheet resistances).

Parameters:

mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard or McParameterCompositon that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.
lE0float64: The length of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.

dutDutView: DutView to scale for.

scale_sheet_resistances(mcard, lE0, bE0, nfinger, config)[source]

This method receives a Modelcard (that includes relevant scaling parameters such as sheet resistances) and sets the scaled resistances accordingly.

Parameters:

mcardMcParameterCollection: A Modelcard or McParameterCollection that contains all parameters that are required for scaling, as well as the parameters that shall be scaled.
lE0float64: The length of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
bE0float64: The width of the desired emitter window to be modeled by mcard.
nfingerinteger: Number of emitter fingers.
configstr: A unique identifier for the configuration.

abstract serialize()[source]

Return a dict which makes a constructor of the class callable

Returns:

dict

Has 1 required (“class”) and 3 optional keys

“class”: always str(self.__class__), this is used to identify the correct technology during loading!

“constructor”: Name of the STATIC constructor method to call to create the technology. If not set, __init__ is used.

“args”: List of arguments to pass to the constructor

“kwargs”: List of keyword arguments to pass to the constructor

While loading a DutView the deserializiaton will be called like:

tech = getattr(cls_technology, serialized_technology["constructor"])(*args, **kwargs)
