The goal of the project is to develop a model for pinned photodiodes which injects specified number of electrons into floating diffusion node. It would make it possible to design optical or other similar systems with more accuracy. Also, it can result in reduced try and error tape-outs and help to save time and money.
The student will work to make a behavioural/Verilog A model for photodiodes. The model should be approved through comparison with TCAD simulations and real photodiode measurements.
