본 논문에서는 Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ)의 새로운 SPICE Macro-Model에 대해서 제안하였다. 제안된 Macro-Model은 다섯 개의 터미널을 가지고 있으며 MTJ의 MR 특성인 hysteresis 성질을 그대로 구현하고 있으며, 시간에 따라 변하는 입력 신호에 대해서도 정확하게 동작하도록 구성되어 시다. 또한 MTJ의 MR 특성을 파라미터 변수값으로 입력을 받을 수 있도록 하여 MTJ의 특성변화에 대해서도 용이하게 적용될 수 있도록 하였다.

Macro-model of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) for spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) has been developed. The macro-model can describe the dynamic behavior such as the state change of MTJ as a function of the pulse width of driving current and voltage. The statistical behavior has been included in the model to represent the variation of the MTJ characteristic due to process variation. The macro-model has been developed in Verilog-A.

This paper proposes new SPICE Macro-Model of MTJ(Magnetic Tunnel Junction). This Macro-Model has five I/O terminals, reproduces MR characteristics including hysteresis and behaves correctly to time varying input signals. Furthermore, this Model can be easily modified to various MTJs with different characteristics by simply varying internal parameters.

The macro-parametric approach, which is a method of CAD model exchange, has recently been proposed. CAD models can be exchanged in the form of a macro file, which is a sequence of modeling commands. As an event-driven commands set, the standard macro file can transfer design intents such as parameters, features and constraints. Moreover it is suitable for the network environment because the standard macro commands are open, explicit, and the data size is small. This paper introduces the concept of the macro-parametric method and proposes its representation using XML technology. Representing the macro-parametric data using XML allows managing vast amount of dynamic contents, Web-enabled distributed applications, and inherent characteristic of structure and validation.

MRAM (Magneto-resistive Random Access Memory)은 자성체의 스핀 방향을 정보원으로 하는 비휘발성 메모리로 magneto-resistance 물질을 정보 저장 소자로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 MRAM 시뮬레이션시 MTJ (Magnetic Tunneling Junction)의 hysteretic 특성, asteroid 특성, R-V 특성을 HSPICE에서 재현할 수 있는 새로운 macro-model을 제안하고 HSPICE에 적용하여 그 정확도를 검증하였다. 또한 종래의 reference cell 회로에 비하여 정확한 중간 저항 값을 유지하는 새로운 reference cell 회로를 제안하고 이를 본 논문에서 제안한 macro-model을 이용하여 검증하였다.

기존의 BSIM4 모델과 다이오드를 사용한 BSIM4 Macro 모델의 바이어스 종속 게이트-드레인 오버렙 캐패시턴스 $C_{gdo}$ 시뮬레이션의 부정확성에 대하여 자세히 분석하였다. 이러한 Macro 모델은 기존의 BSIM4 모델보다 더 정확하지만 선형영역에서 사용될 수 없음을 발견하였다. 기존 모델들의 부정확성을 제거하기 위해서 물리적인 바이어스 종속 $C_{gdo}$ 모델 방정식을 사용한 새로운 BSIM4 Macro 모델을 제안하였고 전체 바이어스 영역에서 유효함을 입증하였다.

Most commercial CAD systems provide parametric modeling functions, and by using these capabilities designers can edit a CAD model in order to create design variants. It is necessary to transfer parametric information during a CAD model exchange to modify the model inside the receiving system. However, it is not possible to exchange parametric information of CAD models based on the cur-rent version of STEP. The designer intents which are contained in the parametric information can be lost during the STEP transfer of CAD models. This paper introduces a hybrid CAB model translator, which also uses the feature tree of commercial CAD systems in addition to the macro file to allow transfer of parametric information. The macro-parametric approach is to exchange CAD models by using the macro file, which contains the history of user commands. To exchange CAD models using the macro-parametric approach, the modeling commands of several commercial CAD systems are analyzed. Those commands are classified and a set of standard modeling commands has been defined. As a neutral fie format, a set of standard modeling commands has been defined. Mapping relations between the standard modeling commands set and the native modeling commands set of commercial CAD systems are defined. The scope of the current version is limited to parts modeling and assemblies are excluded.

Reinforced concrete frames with a masonry infill panel is a structural typology frequently used worldwide. In seismic cases, the interaction between the masonry infill and the RC frames constitutes one of the most complex subjects in earthquake engineering. In this work, an enhancement of an existing numerical model is proposed to improve the estimation of lateral strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predict their probable failure modes. The proposed improvement is based on attributing corrective coefficients to the shear strength of each diagonal shear spring of the macro element, which simulates the masonry infill. The improved numerical model is validated by comparing the results with those of the original numerical model and with experimental results available in the literature. The enhanced macro element model can be used as a powerful, accessible tool for assessing the capacity and stiffness of masonry-infilled frame structures and predicting their probable failure modes.

Recently, there has been growing interests in the magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) because of its great potential as a future nonvolatile memory. In this paper, a CMOS macro-model for MRAM cell based on a twin cell structure is proposed. The READ and WRITE operations of the MTJ cell can be emulated by adopting data latch and switch blocks. The behavior of the circuit is confirmed by HSPICE simulations in a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. We expect the macro model can be utilized to develope the core architecture and the peripheral circuitry. It can also be used for the characterization and the direction of the real MTJ cells.
