• Latest PSP and HISIM_HV version update
• New powerful and flexible Measurement module
• Task tree improved to be more efficient and robust
• Other handy new features

Great Improvements on Internal Engine

• Parse and tweak 45nm technology model library directly in MBP2008.2.0
• Improve subckt model simulation capability
• Support more HSPICE functions and elements
• Latest model version support
  • PSP 102.3
  • HISIM_HV 1.0.2
• Task tree speed improved

Device Characteristic Program (DCP)

• Powerful new measurement module with more flexibility
• Open structure provides user defined instrument driver, device type and analysis
• Support meters, switch matrix and probe station to measure whole wafer or specific devices
• Automatically save user inputs and internal debugging support

Task Tree Device Selection

• A device selection window will pop up when start a task tree, user could check or re-define the device selection by MBP default such as WmaxLmax, WmaxLarray, etc for the auto extraction flow
• To make the auto extraction flow more suitable for user’s own data set
• Enables users to save the definition to a setting file and load for other projects

New PSP Task Tree

• Provides Local to Global approach for PSP model auto extraction flow

IMV Pages Capability Improved

• New target definition, expression support for restrictions
  • For example, vds=vdd/2, vds
• New plot type, two p axis support
  • For example, p=vds, vgs
• Other handy features

Support Extend Simulation on Both X and P Axis

Add FB Device to the Default IMV Pages with the postfix “f”

Allow Extend Simulation in IMV Pages

New Feature in Binning Model Tweaking 

• Enables users to tweak the same parameter for a set of point together
• In point mode, right-click on one parameter and select “select bin param”

Improved Error Table

• Update real time when parameter changes
• Add Relative/Absolute Error selection
• Make the legends more clear: with second variables

Other Improvements

• User can set the ratio for extending bin boundary when generate binning model
• User can customize the layout by Tool > Layout > Customize
• Add the column and row number of plot to the setup window
• User can set the precision for model saving and simulation by the new button in the parameter window
