Typical PathWave Model QA Users

Device Modeling Engineers

  • Automated, turnkey, and fully customizable model validation process ensures released models having superior quality
  • Superb productivity improvements when compared with manual work
  • Design specific model checks can be implemented
  • QA procedures are portable from one process generation to another process generation; simple one-time setup required for the pre-qualified QA procedures
  • Flexible user interface for adding more validation and checking rules
  • Enhanced communications between modeling engineers and designers
  • Debugging model issues becomes much simpler

Foundry Interface Engineers

  • Easily detect model issues
  • Validate models from foundry
  • Generate a comprehensive model report
  • Compare the difference between different model versions, or different simulators
  • Add value to the communication channel between foundries and design houses

IC Designers

  • Identify the potential weaknesses of a generic foundry model for the designer’s specific circuit applications
  • Visually establish the fitting error of a model in the specific operating regions that designers care about
  • Debug any simulation result issues
  • Compare model performance between simulators
  • Easy and quick method for assessing and comparing the impact of different process technologies on circuit performance
  • Easy to provide feedback to modeling engineers and foundries
