This webinar presents a comprehensive methodology for the design and optimization of a 1200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Double-Diffused Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (DMOS FET) utilizing Silvaco's TCAD platform. Adhering to industry best practices, the construction of an accurate digital twin is also presented, ensuring conformity to real-world performance characteristics. Moreover, we outline strategies to streamline simulation workflows, emphasizing techniques to boost design efficiency and productivity.
In parallel, this webinar explores the transformative impact of Machine Learning (ML) on traditional device design practices. By harnessing ML algorithms, a fundamental shift occurs in the approach towards device design, enabling process and device engineers to extract insights from vast datasets, optimize performance, and expedite the design iteration process.
Additionally, the necessity of incorporating compact modeling into the design flow is underscored. Compact modeling serves as a crucial component in capturing device behavior accurately, enabling efficient circuit-level simulations and facilitating rapid prototyping of devices. The integration of compact modeling enhances the design process, facilitating a more holistic understanding of device behavior and performance characteristics.
Through the integration of TCAD, simulation optimization, ML techniques, and compact modeling, this webinar demonstrates a synergistic approach towards device design, fostering innovation, precision, and efficiency.

The Department of Defense needs non-linear advances in gas-phase sensing to identify chemical threats, toxic industrial compounds, and physiological changes present in human breath. Currently, fieldable instruments for gas analysis are large (>0.5 cubic feet), expensive (>$50,000), and slow. Hand-held devices are limited to identification of specific targets such as nitrogen oxide, oxygen, and carbon dioxide or generalized estimated concentration of total volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biohybrid sensing involves combining biological sensory elements with electronic components in a SWaP-C solution for fast and accurate detection of VOCs. Unprecedented VOC sensing potential lies within the biological sense of olfaction, which boasts rapid, selective, and sensitive capability to identify hundreds of thousands of compounds in complex environments. However, there are currently no commercially available devices harnessing the capability of olfaction due to the challenges in the bioelectronic interfacing necessary for maintaining long-term stability and environmental conditions necessary to sustain olfactory signaling elements (whether it be at the organ-, cell-, or protein-level). This course will provide an overview of the current state of biohybrid VOC sensing comparing and contrasting examples utilizing olfactory organ/tissue-based, cell-based, and protein-based modalities.

The healthcare industry has transformed over the last twenty-five years due to the co-development of diagnostics along with state-of-the-art therapeutics and treatments; notably, this has led to the field of companion diagnostics. The best example of this is the prescribed use of insulin based on glucose levels monitored via test strips or the continuous glucose monitor. The future goal of medicine is to have truly personalized treatment protocols based on an individual’s biometrics, physiology, and exposure.
However, this goal requires further identification and quantitation of biomarkers and health exposures, both biological and chemical, both at the point-of-care as well as in real-time. Therefore, technologies are needed that can miniaturize current diagnostics to make them inexpensive, simple-to-use, and ideally wearable.
However, where and what to sense remains a critical question to solve, as each biofluid, including blood, sweat, saliva, tears, breath, and exhaled breath condensate contains a different profile of biomarkers. Additionally, biomarkers have vastly different physiochemical properties and abundances, which present different challenges as well as require a range of sensing modalities. Therefore, this course will be an overview of the “What, Where, and How of Sensing to Meet Current and Future MedTech Needs”. At the end of the course, a perspective of where these technologies can impact the future of health outcomes will be presented as well as key considerations for future technologies to gain commercial acceptance
