Introduction
Model Quality Assurance (MQA) is a collection of comprehensive SPICE model validation procedures, interfaces and utilities that provide the ability to thoroughly check SPICE model quality and automate QA and reporting procedures for both silicon and III-V technologies. Given today’s nanoscale process technologies and increasing model complexities, validating SPICE models is a significant challenge and can be very time consuming. However, SPICE modeling engineers and model users still want the models to be thoroughly checked and the model characteristics to be easily obtained. MQA satisfies this critical industry requirement by rigorously checking the model quality, plotting model characteristics, and customizing the output targets with its comprehensive checking rules while employing easy-to-use interfaces and utilities.

Powerful model reporting
MQA is equipped with a powerful report module:
Easily output all desired tables and plots to a report format of the user’s choice (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, PDF or OpenOffice)
Easily output all existing MQA plots to a report
Report content is rule driven and user customizable
Open interface
MQA provides an open interface for advanced users to utilize their own math functions and data process functions.
Implement more math functions with little programming
Customize/add RMS functions of your preference
MQA’s Java interface has its own engine that enables users to edit, compile and debug their own programs
Powerful plotting
