SOI represents a technology shift comparable in Impact to the from NMOS CMOS. It has impacts on many aspects of modeling, simulation and analysis, presents some unique challenges due presence number electrical phenomena SOI.In this tutorial, we will review technology, touching specifically devices models, as well impact floating body parasitic bipolar effects. We show examples these circuit behavior balance that against existing sources variation such power supply variations, signal-to-signal coupling processing fluctuations. then relevant areas ECADD simulation, timing (or fast circuit) static thermal estimation, synthesis/technology mapping physical design.This paper proposes lazy group sifting for dynamic variable re-ordering during state traversal. The proposed method relaxes idea pairwise grouping present variables their corresponding next variables. This is done produce better orderings image computation without causing BDD size blowup substitution with at end computation. Experimental results our approach more robust traversal than approaches either unconditionally pairs or never them.
