Description

Model Builder Program (MBP)Introducing MBP 2019

MBP 2019 delivers the new aging model extraction package, new re-centering package and plentiful of usability enhancements to further improve modeling productivity and efficiency.

New MOSRA level 3 aging model extraction package (W8614EP/ET)

  • Automated extraction flow for MOSRA HCI and BTI model generation
  • Supports both compact and subcircuit model as core model
  • Enables manual tuning and auto optimization
  • The flow could be further customized with MBP script

New model target re-centering package (W8626EP/ET)

  • Presents both error table and IMV plots at the same time
  • Support for two different inputs: .mea and .csv
  • Easy to recognize PASS/FAIL according to the colors
  • Supports exporting the error table to an Excel file

Enhancement in the corner tweaking

  • Enables you to add as many bias targets as you want
  • Introduced "DeviceIndex" to match NMOS and PMOS pair
  • Added the button “Extend Devices” to enable the extend simulation for all the delta_l and delta_w (“horn mouth”) plots

Check for parameter’s effective value

  • When loading a model, MBP now shows a warning message if any parameter’s effective value is out of boundary.
  • When "Check Parameter Boundary" is checked, MBP now shows a warning message if any parameter’s effective value is out of boundary.
  • When "Enable Hard Boundary" is checked, MBP’s hard boundary now takes effect on binned parameters as well.

New model versions

  • BSIM-BULK 106.2.0
  • BSIM-IMG 102.9.1
  • HiSIM_HV 2.4.0
  • HiSIM2 3.0.0
  • UTSOI 2.2

Other enhancements

  • Statistical modeling package - add the Load/Save buttons to easily import/export corner and mismatch spec file
  • Lib Parser - the order of the previously loaded libraries now stays the same when a new library is added. Besides, the folding of the libraries (+ button) will not be reset after a new library is added.
  • WAT mapping data plot - add the option to display Median Line which connects the points representing the median values of WAT mapping data.
  • Binning model simulation - to be consistent with HSPICE/Spectre, the internal engine will not have simulation results if the instance of data is out of the bin model range
