Brookeb Microelectronics Research Center School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia, Atlanta, 30332 aNow at: Packaging Research Center, Georgia Institute of Technology bNow at: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University Abstract A hybrid modeling method, measurement-based partial element equivalent circuit (M-PEEC) model, for the modeling of electrical and optical devices has been proposed and verified in this paper. This method can generate scalable and predictive device models, which empower a circuit designer to control device’s physical dimensions for co-design with circuitry. The proposed method also can be easily integrated with existing EDA framework, which circumvents iterative interface between device and circuit simulation tools. Index Terms MSM Photodetector, Preamplifier, PEEC, M-PEEC, Receiver INTRODUCTION As the speed of communications and interconnects increases, accurate simulation of the electromagnetic (EM) behavior of monolithically or hybrid integrated devices in chips and boards is becoming more and more important. For this purpose, accurate and fast device models are inevitable in device and circuit designing process. As a result, much research has been performed on modeling methodol
