Welcome to Huan-Lin's Homepage!

Introduction

Hi, my name is Huan-Lin Chang (Mandarin: 張環麟). I'm from Taiwan.

Currently I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the world-renowned BSIM group under the supervision of Prof. Chenming Hu of UC Berkeley, USA. Before this position, I was a SPICE modeling engineer at the world's largest pure-play foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Taiwan. I received my Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering at National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan in 2011. I am privileged to commit three years of my career (2015 - 2018) to the continued success of the BSIM group.

• SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) refers to the simulation program that was originally developed by Laurence Nagel at UC Berkeley. It could also refer to the device model that is used with the simulator. We use the second meaning here.

About BSIM

BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) was the first international industry standard model (BSIM3v3) for simulation of MOS intergated circuits (ICs) in 1997. Since then, BSIM had taken a long and vibrant journey of becoming a full family of models today. Most of the ICs using 0.5-um and newer technologies since 1997 were designed with BSIM. That amounts to a trillion US dollars worth of ICs [Ref].

• IGFET (Insulated-Gate Field Effect Transistor) is an old-fashioned name of modern MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor).
