How Design Houses Qualify CMOS Foundry Models Using PathWave Model QA (MQA)

Solution Briefs

Following Moore’s Law, advanced CMOS process technology is driving IC designs to have smaller device scaling yet better performance. Smaller device sizes will create more unexpected effects and variation which are not considered in older technologies. Consequently, to describe all the new device electrical behaviors, device model libraries provided by foundries are becoming more and more complicated.

Due to the increased complexity of foundry model libraries and the huge cost of design failures, large IC design houses are starting to build internal scripts or to rely on EDA tools to automatically qualify foundry models.

In this paper, we will discuss why design houses need to qualify foundry models and how PathWave Model QA(MQA) can help to standardize the model qualification flow.
