We invite you to participate in our immersive, week-long workshop, aimed at mastering electromagnetic simulation techniques using the comprehensive product catalogue from SUN Magnetics. This hands-on learning experience will help you leverage the power of SUN Magnetics’ tools to their full potential, enhancing your skills and proficiency in the realm of electromagnetic simulations.

Course details:
Our workshop course provides an immersive experience into mastering our simulation software, focusing on several critical areas. These include superconductor electronics (SCE) parameter extraction, flux trapping analysis in SFQ layouts, coupling calculations for circuit structures, and compact model extraction in the EM environment. Furthermore, we delve into SQUID/SQIF/gradiometer analysis, frequency analysis of filter structures, ground current analysis, and modelling of densely coupled AQFP layouts. The course also covers multi-layered capacitance extraction, integrated circuits packaging modelling, and layout-vs-schematic (LVS) verification.
