Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for computer-assisted transistor design. A new transistor design can be generated based on characteristics of an existing transistor. The system for transistor design receives a first set of parameters for an existing transistor design that are functions of a first geometry that is descriptive of the existing transistor design. Next, the system establishes a set of constraints for the new transistor to be designed. The system then calculates pertinent dimensions of a geometry for the new transistor design based on the constraints and the first set of parameters.

A method of designing a new transistor comprising:
- receiving a first set of parameters for an existing transistor design that are functions of a first geometry that is descriptive of the existing transistor design;
- establishing a set of constraints for the new transistor;
- and
- calculating at least one dimension of a second geometry that is descriptive of the new transistor based on the constraints and the first set of parameters.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for instructing at least one processor to perform operations of:
- receiving a first set of parameters for an existing transistor design that are functions of a first geometry that is descriptive of the existing transistor design;
- establishing a set of constraints for the new transistor;
- and
- calculating at least one dimension of a second geometry that is descriptive of the new transistor based on the constraints and the first set of parameters.
