The structure of this website and the model version control engine behind it has been upgraded
such as to introduce support for multiple levels of Mextram. Timestamps on this website may
have been updated as a result of testing of the engines.
For Mextram we currently support level 504.
(February, 2012 ) Mextram 504.10.1 released as new standard version.
Mextram 504.10.1 is available as TechAmerica Compact Model Council standard release of Mextram.
Please refer to the Releases page for downloads.
Please refer to the Q1, 2012 item in the "History of Model and documentation", in the Preface of MextramDefinition.pdf, for a description of the differences of Mextram 504.10.1, as compared to Mextram 504.10.
This website has been redesigned for improved ergonomics and enhanced support capabilities.
(October, 2011 ) Vacancy for PhD candidate closed
Our May 2011 vacancy for a PhD is now closed; we are pleased to make
public here our team has been strengthened by an enthousiastic new
member.
(May, 2011 ) Vacancy for PhD candidate (CLOSED)
We currently have a vacancy for a PhD candidate. Field of research will be advanced physics-based bipolar device modeling and contribution to the continuous development of the Mextram model.
Focus will be on state-of-the art industrial bipolar transistor technologies for upcoming mm-wave applications. In this project we shall closely cooperate with NXP-Research (Eindhoven, The Netherlands).
Candidates must have an MSc degree in physics, mathematics or electrical engineering and apparent affinity with semiconductor device physics. Good communication skills in English are essential.
