What is Device Modeling MQA?

Device Modeling MQA is automated software for validating, analyzing, comparing, and documenting SPICE model libraries. It helps engineers verify model quality, consistency, and readiness for design use.

Who uses Device Modeling MQA?

MQA is used by foundries, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), and fabless semiconductor companies that require reliable model qualification and documentation processes before releasing models to design teams.

How does MQA improve model qualification?

MQA automates verification tasks, applies comprehensive checking rules, compares model revisions, and generates detailed reports, reducing manual effort while increasing confidence in model accuracy.

Can MQA compare models from different sources?

Yes. MQA can compare models from different foundries, technologies, process nodes, or revisions, making it easier to identify differences and validate updates before deployment.

What are the benefits of automated QA reporting?

Automated reporting saves engineering time, improves traceability, standardizes qualification processes, and provides clear documentation for internal reviews, customer delivery, and compliance requirements.

Model Quality Assurance (MQA)

Automated model qualification, comparison, and reporting for trusted design signoff.

Why Use Model Quality Assurance (MQA)

Ensure every model release meets designer expectations.

As SPICE models become increasingly complex, manual validation is no longer sufficient. MQA provides an automated and comprehensive framework for model qualification, helping modeling teams verify accuracy, robustness, physical behavior, and design relevance before models are released.

By standardizing QA procedures, automating reporting, and enabling customizable validation criteria, MQA helps foundries and modeling teams improve model quality, increase engineering productivity, and reduce the risk of costly silicon design errors.
