What's New

New Features in 2018

• Power Electronics Model Generator (PEMG) bundle, which includes IC-CAP Add-on extractions for SiC, IGBT and GaN for Power Electronics. For more information, refer Power Electronics Model Generator. 

  PEMG is supported only on 64-bit platforms.

• IC-CAP 2018 includes new PEL VISA functions available for use in IC-CAP Macros and Transforms to connect with GPIB interfaces and measurement instruments for communication using the "Virtual Instrument Software Architecture" (VISA) standard API. For more information, refer to VISA Programming.

• The python library PyVISA (version 1.8) has been included as built-in python packages available in IC-CAP 2018. The PyVISA library can be used from within IC-CAP Python Macros and Transforms programs to connect with instruments and to communicate with instruments programmatically. For more information refer to VISA Programming.
• A new IC-CAP example file has been added to demonstrate the new PEL VISA functions and PyVISA function capabilities: Please find new example file located in the following installation directory:  <ICCAP_ROOT>/examples/visa/programming_visa.mdl. For more information, refer to VISA Programming.
• New built-in IC-CAP PEL INSTR functions: INSTR_open, INSTR_write, INSTR_read, INSTR_close, INSTR_...  have been added to IC-CAP 2018 for VISA based programmable direct TCPIP, USB, and GPIB instrument connections and instrument communication from within PEL IC-CAP Macros and Transforms. These functions complement the current existing PEL HPIB functions which work with GPIB interface connections, as well as direct TCPIP, USB, and GPIB instrument connections. For more information, refer to INSTR Functions.

• Data Viewer provides an intuitive interface for customers who use full-featured IC-CAP WaferPro, WaferPro Express, or MBP. It allows the users of IC-CAP WaferPro to read a large volume of MDM files by specifying Lot, Wafer, and Die, and to view the measured data in plots as per the selection.

• For DynaFET, the Extrapolation feature is integrated. With this function, users can generate extrapolated data for model extraction. 

Enhancements in 2018

• The built-in IC-CAP PEL HPIB functions: HPIB_open, HPIB_write, HPIB_read, HPIB_close, HPIB_... have been updated in IC-CAP 2018 to support VISA TCPIP, USB and GPIB directly connected instruments, to extend the current GPIB interface connection capabilities for programmable instrument communication from within PEL IC-CAP Macros and Transforms. For more information, refer to HPIB Functions.

• The IC-CAP Hardware Setup Window now supports adding VISA connections to TCPIP, USB, and GPIB directly connected instruments, to extend the current existing GPIB interface connections that IC-CAP already supports. For more information, refer to GPIB Interface and Instrument Connection Names.

• The IC-CAP Hardware Setup Window's speed to rebuild the list of active instruments per connected GPIB interface has been improved. The number of SCPI commands sent to each interface address to determine the IC-CAP instrument driver to associate with that GPIB interface address has been reduced, significantly improving the speed to identify the instruments connected per address of a given GPIB interface.

• The List GUI Item has a new special option named "Double Click Behavior", refer to Creating Graphic User Interfaces. The new List GUI Item option "Double Click Behavior" controls the double click behavior of the list. The values for Double Click Behavior are <None Specified>, Double Click Classic, Double Click Simplified.  (TFS Issue 98606)

• Double Click Simplified mode sets double click to not send a selection callback when an already selected item is double clicked, and will not send a selection callback and not de-select an already selected item when Selection Policy is Single Item Select or Select Multiple Items.
• Double Click Classic mode sets double click to send a selection callback if an already selected item is double clicked, and will send a selection callback and de-select an already selected item when Selection Policy is Single Item Select or Select Multiple Items.
• Default behavior if <None Specified> is selected is Double Click Classic mode.

• In PEL and Python, 3 new built-in IC-CAP functions are included for getting the X, Y, or Y2 datasets for a given Plot's defined traces. The functions are get_plot_data_x(), get_plot_data_y() and get_plot_data_y2(). (TFS Issue 122727)

  The new function details are listed below:

  get_plot_data_x	Returns the given Plot definition's X dataset used for the Plot's X data trace, the Plot's Y2 data trace, or a particular Plot's Y data trace number.
  get_plot_data_y	Returns the given Plot definitions Y dataset for the given particular Plot Y data trace number.
  get_plot_data_y2	Returns the given Plot definition's Y2 dataset for the Plot's Y2 data trace if the Plot is of type XY plot.-

• For Python new built-in IC-CAP functions have be added, the new functions are listed below:

  set_return_value	Returns a value to the transform dataset
  set_return_array	Returns a list to the transform dataset
  set_return_matrix_array	Returns a python matrix to the transform dataset.

• Updated the built-in IC-CAP PNA and PNA-X drivers connection list to automatically support the latest B model versions of the most popular PNA models available. For more information, refer Keysight PNA Series Vector Network Analyzer and Keysight PNA-X Series Vector Network Analyzer. (TFS Issue 145885)
• Updated the Anritsu Vector Star instrument driver to support 2-Port S-Parameter measurements with a multiport Anritsu instrument, via specifying the ports of interest in the IC-CAP Instrument options. (TFS 152043)
• The following new plot functions are provided in this release: ndata, tdata, udata, and plot_vs.
• For DynaFET, the following updates have been made:
• Update PySide to PySide2
• Supports the new format for NVNA data file: The order of AM_2_1 and AP_2_1; and the AP_2_1 unit are updated.

VAR MeasSeg(real) = 0 VAR VDC_1(real) = -1.86 VAR VDC_2(real) = 16 VAR fund_1(real) = 100000000 VAR Src1Power(real) = 0.001 VAR AP_2_1(real) = -165.000000 VAR AM_2_1(real) = 0.001

Issues Fixed in 2018

• Fixed the copy, rename, and delete methods for IC-CAP Python API IC-CAP objects of type Input, Output, Setup, Dut, Model, Macro, Transform, or Plot, to only copy, rename, and/or delete the IC-CAP objects of the same type as the IC-CAP object in python to perform the operation upon. Therefore if a plot and a transform or input have the same name, a delete on a plot object of that name will delete the plot object and not the input or transform that is found first in an IC-CAP named object search. (TFS Issue 133835)
• Fixed crash in Variable table when an ICCAP_ARRAY[<dim>] is entered for a value in an unnamed variable row. Now the IC-CAP_ARRAY[<dim>] value can be added to an unnamed variable row in the variable tables without a crash, but the dimension of the ICCAP Array will not be initialized until the variable row is given a name. (TFS Issue 71346)
• Fixed IC-CAP crash with Custom GUI Table widgets found during IC-CAP Exit or during Deletion of IC-CAP variables when an IC-CAP GUI Table widget has a property set to for Variable Value tracking. (TFS Issue 129088, 141842, 137633) 
• Fixed issue with IC-CAP Python API function get_child_objects() not working properly and throws an Exception for some IC-CAP Inputs with sweep type of 'LIN_DOUBLE', 'LOG_DOUBLE', 'EXP', 'PULSE', 'PWL', 'SFFM', 'SIN', 'TLYSNC', 'TDR', or 'SEG'. (TFS Issue 138048)
• Updated IC-CAP Python API function "set_par()" to now accept a string value, for use in setting a parameter value to the name of an IC-CAP variable. (TFS Issue 131757)
• Fixed IC-CAP crash when deleting a Macro that is currently being edited. (TFS Issue 123302, 145497)
• Fixed writing S2P touchstone and S2PMDIF files by WaferPro and IC-CAP to use the same double precision that MDM files are written with. The S2P touchstone and S2PMDIF formats were only being written out in the past with a fixed default precision of 6 for double precision values. (TFS Issue 151396)
• Fixed some potential crashes in the IC-CAP Optimization and Parameter group features within IC-CAP. (TFS Issue 137633)
• Fixed PSPICE netlisting .PARAM error with LIST input sweeps when LIST input sweeps were second order or greater in sweep order. (TFS Issue 150032, 135210)
• Fixed IC-CAP crash with Multiplot referring to itself. (TFS Issue 134416, 79364)
• Fixed issue with Plot displaying the wrong Y and Y2 trace colors, line types, and symbol marker types when setting new Trace Options in the Plot Options dialog for the Y2 Data trace and for Y Data traces above number 8 in XY Plot types. (TFS Issue 128864)
• Fixed issue with reading in Plot trace plot options information from IC-CAP Model, DUT, Setup, or Plot files where the Plot is more than 8 Y data traces. (TFS Issue 128865)
• Fixed issue with the IC-CAP Python API Output class where the "Admittance/Impedance" Output's mode character was incorrectly specified as 'Z' versus its correct output Mode character of 'X'. (TFS Issue 152492)
• Fixed issue with Plot trace plot options y data trace numbers being incorrect if one reduces the Plot Definition's # of Y traces below 8 Y data  traces and then increases it again. (TFS Issue 133525)
• Fixed IC-CAP crash when Loading a Plot Options file which contains less Y data trace options information than the current number of Y data trace options currently loaded in the Plot Options dialog and the Ok button is then pressed. (TFS Issue 154041)
• Fixed issue with Plot displaying the wrong Y2 data trace color, line type, and symbol marker type defined for the Y2 Data trace in the Trace Options tab of the Plot Options dialog when the plot definition has less than 8 Y data traces. (TFS Issue 138588)
• Rebuild Instrument List in the Hardware Setup window will preserve all open setups' instrument options instead of clearing and resetting the open setups' instrument options. This is configurable under the Hardware Setup Window's Tools → Settings → Preserve Instrument Options During Instrument Rebuild menu. (TFS Issue 106918)
• Fixed IC-CAP WaferPro crash when restarting a new WaferPro session after exiting WaferPro and choosing Cancel on the save WaferPro project Save dialog. (TFS Issue 155887)
• New option for B1505: BYPASS_INPUT_RESOL_CHECK option was introduced for HCSMU (B1512, including Dual HCSMU), MCSMU (B1514), UHC (Ultra High Current Unit), UHV (Ultra High Voltage Unit), HVMCU (High Voltage MCU), as well as HVSMU (B1513), to bypass the input resolution check.
• MCSMU support was enabled for B1500A.
• Enabled force and measure V for B1500 with Use User Sweep = No.

Issues Fixed for Licensing in 2018

• On windows, a possible Administrator privilege issue preventing the automatic restarting of the FlexFNP license server program, lmgrd after the PC comes out of the hibernation mode has been fixed. The License Setup Wizard will automatically restart the server without any user intervention.

Known Issues

Problem	Solution
IC-CAP runs child processes named cygpath.exe and sh.exe. On Windows 7, 8 and 10, these processes appear as minimized console windows (similar to cmd prompt) in your task bar. If you restore these windows, a black window may appear.	It is recommended to ignore these windows and keep them minimized as they are required for proper functioning of IC-CAP. If you close these windows, IC-CAP will open these windows again at a later time.
On Linux, the Save Image option may fail for JPG and some other graphics file formats.	The solution is to replace the convert found under $ICCAP_ROOT/ImageMagick/bin folder with the convert from /usr/bin folder. An example command is cp /usr/bin/convert $ICCAP_ROOT/ImageMagick/bin/convert.
Optimizer check buttons column often appear too wide when viewing Optimizer Parameter Tables saved from earlier versions of IC-CAP.	NA
When passing variable table values to another transform/macro using GET_INT, it is better to pass val (varname) rather than varname as there is a problem properly dereferencing the variable. It is dereferenced in the context of the get_int() call, not the iccap_func call. This problem will be repaired in a future release.	NA
If you use DYNAMIC_MULTIPLOT_MODE in multiplots, autoscale behavior may be affected. Normally all plots within a multiplot have a separate scaling setting from one multiplot to another or when viewed as a single plot. This allows you to place the same plot twice in a multiplot with different manual scaling settings or have the same plot in 2 multiplots, one autoscaled and the other manual scaled or any such combination. The DYNAMIC_MULTIPLOT_MODE causes the scaling presented in a multiplot to be identical to that displayed in the single plot. If you change the scaling in the multiplot, it will change the default scaling also for when viewing the single plot. But there is currently a problem when changing the scaling properties from the multiplot. The scaling saved to the single plot becomes incorrect leading to unpredictable results.	Open the single plot and set the scaling as desired, once this is done, the plots will open as expected in the multiplot.
It was found that opening/closing thousands of plots in a session may cause the IC-CAP process to grow and ultimately crash.	NA
When using WaferPro, selecting "Display Plot During Execution" to "Yes" may result in a blank plot window when trying to resize the plot. This will not affect the data collection.	Set the value to "No" and view the results by clicking on the device measurement lines in the log window.
When viewing plots on multiplot, sometimes symbol size is inconsistent. This may affect the quality of the plot for documentation/publishing purposes.	NA
When displaying to a remote display from Linux (Specifically Cygwin Xwin or Exceed onDemand) you may observe substantial performance problems on the Model window when selecting setups.	Setting environment variable QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native before launching IC-CAP should improve the performance. Some systems may see further improvement by setting EESOF_REMOTE_DISPLAY_DEFAULT_OVERRIDE=1.
You may observe performance issue during WaferPro Test Plan Run on Windows platform, as compared to IC-CAP 2013.01 release.	If IC-CAP 2013.01 is installed on your machine, set ICCAP_CPP_PATH=c:\agilent\iccap_2013_01\bin\icpp in the $HOME\ICCONFIG file.
Invoking IC-CAP 2014.04 or 2013.01 on windows after installing the new 2015.05 licensing module that comes with IC-CAP 2016.01 may repeatedly ask for bundle usage and not remember the selection.	Either answer the question each time you invoke older versions, or look for Registry Keys ICCAP_PRODSEL_AUTOSTART and ICCAP_PRODSEL_PREVIOUS that define your default bundle for Licensing 2015.05 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Agilent\EEsof License Configuration and under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Keysight\EEsof License Configuration.  Copy the values of these two keys to new keys in the same location named ICCAP_PRODSEL_AUTOSTART and ICCAP_PRODSEL_PREVIOUS.
Under certain conditions, you may observe the following message, while opening a plot. However, the plot will appear correctly despite the message. SB: VDC of size zero is not allowed	Ignore the messages.
The DynaFET model created using ICCAP 2018 is not compatible with the older versions of ICCAP.	NA
The DynaFET package is not supported for the Linux 32-bit platforms.	NA
The following IC-CAP Modeling Extraction Packages are not supported for simulation with the ADS simulator (hpeesofsim) for the Linux 32-bit platforms. (TFS 150839) BSIMSOI: Example Model file: $ICCAP_ROOT \examples\model_files\mosfet\bsimsoi4\BSIMSOI4_Extract.mdl HiSIM_HV: Example Model file: $ICCAP_ROOT \examples\model_files\mosfet\hisim_hv\HiSIM_HV_Extract.mdl PSP: Example Model file: $ICCAP_ROOT \examples\model_files\mosfet\psp\PSP_Extract.mdl HiSIM2:  Example Model file: $ICCAP_ROOT \examples\model_files\mosfet\hisim2\HiSIM2_Extract.mdl	NA The 64-bit versions of hpeesofsim and IC-CAP work fine.  For 32-bit, the hspice 2010.03(32-bit) simulator and spectre MMSIM_15.10.727 work fine.
plot_vs() function does not support range plots. plot_vs() plots currently cannot be used for Y2 Data. “View Data” display for plots does not properly support plots where multiple traces rely on differing X data.  This can happen when using plot_vs() or USE_PLOT_LOOKUP=TRUE. When using plot_vs() functions or USE_PLOT_LOOKUP=TRUE features to construct plots with differing numbers of curves or differing X names, plot decoration such as X label and legend lines default to the decoration of the first trace in the plot regardless of selected points.	NA
The IC-CAP PEL system variable ICCAP_MAXIMUM_CALL_CHAIN is not working. (TFS 123432) The maximum number of PEL Transforms or Macros that can be called (via iccap_func()) without returning will not be limited by the ICCAP_MAXIMUM_CALL_CHAIN variable.  Any infinitely recursive Macro or Transform function calls can continue to cause IC-CAP to consume all available system memory and potentially freeze your system and crash IC-CAP when setting the ICCAP_MAXIMUM_CALL_CHAIN variable.	NA
The last official 32-bit Linux version for ADS is ADS 2011.01. However, this version does not work with IC-CAP 2018 due to licensing.	Use ADS 2013.06, and comment the following lines in $HPEESOF_DIR/bin/sim-bootscript.sh:     #if  [ "$MACH_UNAME" != "x86_64" ] ; then #echo "\nThis EEsof product is not supported on 32-bit versions of Linux operating systems.\n"  #exit 1     #fi
IC-CAP may fail to start on Windows 7/10 machines that have National Instruments 488.2 IO libraries version 2.8 or older installed.  IC-CAP 2018 has a new dependency on the 3rd party IO libraries shared library named visa64.dll that is installed with Keysight IO Libraries and/or National Instrument IO Libraries.  The VISA API version of visa64.dll that is installed with National Instruments IO libraries 488.2 version 2.8 and older are not compatible with the VISA API that IC-CAP 2018 uses.  (TFS Issue 154807)	There are 2 recommended ways to resolve this issue: Upgrade your installed National Instruments 488.2 IO libraries version from 2.8 or older to a newer version such as versions: NI 488.2 IO libraries version 3.1.2 NI 488.2 IO libraries version 14.0 NI 488.2 IO libraries version 15.0 NI 488.2 IO libraries version 16.0 NI 488.2 IO libraries version 17.0 *(Recommended version: This is the  newest/latest version available.) Or, If you require to still use NI 488.2 IO libraries version 2.8 or older on your system 2. Copy the IC-CAP supplied stub visa64.dll file from    %ICCAP_ROOT%/lib/win32_64/visa64.dll     to     %ICCAP_ROOT%/bin/visa64.dll     to workaround the IC-CAP 2018 will not start issue.
On Linux platforms in Gnome, XFCE, or KDE window managers, IC-CAP 2018 may render some IC-CAP widgets to appear larger in height than in IC-CAP 2016. (TFS Issue 152953)	In IC-CAP 2018 set the following variable on Linux: ICCAP_LEGACY_WIDGET_SIZING=TRUE to have the IC-CAP 2018 windows/widgets draw in vertical height similarly to how they did in IC-CAP 2016. A side effect of using this variable is that the default FONT may appear to be 1 pixel size smaller in height/width with this configuration file setting. You can set this variable in the environment before IC-CAP startup or by setting it in the $HOME/hpeesof/config/iccap.cfg file before IC-CAP startup. -- Another possible workaround is to set the monitor or Virtual Desktop environment (if using VNC) to have a DPI (Dots Per Inch) setting that is 88-96% of the current set DPI value used in IC-CAP 2016.
Occasionally, external simulators may hang or crash when invoked by IC-CAP. Specifically, the ADS 2016.01 simulator has been found to stop working with the PE Verilog-A  models.	In general, IC-CAP will continue to function once the hung/crashed simulator process has been stopped. This may require using task manager to kill the hung process, or dismissing all dialogs alerting you to the crash. In the case of PE Verilog-A, it is recommended to use ADS 2017.
In Data Viewer, if a test plan is rerun after changing the Die in project with the same measurement condition (just changing some bias for same condition). If you use the [Dir Explore] option to see data for all Dies, it shows incorrect data.	For the bias, which are same for both runs, it shows zero data when we plot for all Die’s from both run or it will simply plot data from the first run for which the bias condition is different. A possible workaround is to use different MeasCond / MeasGroup name.
If you have set 'step plots' in the model file saved in IC-CAP 2018, it may not be read fine in IC-CAP 2016.	NA
Once you perform math on a dataset with name/unit/text associated with it, the name/unit/text will be forgotten.	If you want to attach name/unit/text data, it should be done after all the math operations are applied. For example: ndata(x*y*z,”my_x_y_x’)  ! name “my_x_y_z” will be attached to the product of x,y, and z rather than ndata(x,”x”)*ndata(y,”y’)*ndata(z,”z’)  ! names will be forgotten
While using RHEL 7, the windows that pops up on clicking few items can get tied to the windows behind it.	Open a terminal and type 'gnome-tweak-tool' and turn off 'Attached Model Dialogs' setting in the 'Windows' section:
In PEMG, the Save option becomes inactive if you try to save a project with a file name that includes a space.	A file name with a space is not supported. You can use the Save As option to the save the project.
In PEMG, the Maximize button may not behave as desired on Exceed onDemand (EOD) and Exceed TurboX (ETX)  display.	NA
Crash dump is displayed if you close IC-CAP after using Data Viewer on Exceed onDemand display.	NA
On Windows 10, while invoking IC-CAP, an error message is sometimes displayed in the Status window.	A possible workaround is to install the latest version of Cygwin.
IC-CAP may crash sometimes while using Admos packages.	NA
On Linux, IC-CAP crashes while running the NeuroFet.	NA
IC-CAP crashes if the netlist circuit file includes a line with 20000 characters.	NA
Spectre results in negative capacitances for S-parameter simulation.	NA
HB 2 tone simulation not reading full data into IC-CAP.	NA
While using the Advanced Module options in PEMG, sometimes if you add a DUT/Setup in the Measure Module, and then run the associated step, the DUT/Setup list in the Extract Module is not automatically updated.	The workaround to view the updated DUT/Setup is to use the Load Data option on the Measured Data page.
On Linux, unable to delete the PEMG folder under the IC-CAP installation directory.	The workaround is to use the chmod 777 -R command on the $ICCAP_ROOT/ModelGenerator directory before trying to delete.
On Windows 7 32-bit, the Verilog simulation fails.	The workaround is to keep the simulation debugger open while performing the simulation.
In Data Viewer, an error is displayed if you open the wafermap_sim.mdmprj  example from the File > Examples menu.	The workaround is to access this example from the Data Viewer home page.
If you are using IC-CAP 32-bit version on a RHEL7 64-bit machine, the Qt help window does not open using the Help > Topics and Index menu.	The workaround is to install readline.i686, sqlite.i686, and the other required libraries as listed in the Installation section known issues.

Documentation

• On Windows, Printing directly from Qt Help generates non-readable output. Workaround: Use PDF version of the document for printing purpose.

• In IC-CAP help when you open a page using the "Open a link in new tab" option the help does not opens a page in different tab by default. You need to set the preferences to open any link in a new tab. To set the preferences:

  1. From the IC-CAP Help, Click Edit > Preferences. The Preferences Dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select the Options tab.

  3. Under Appearance, select the Show tabs for each individual page option.

  This is one time setting for a particular release of a product.
• Unable to open online help, any external link, or Embedded Survey link in Linux on Mozilla Firefox browser. Workaround: Use Mozilla Firefox version 39 or above or keep the Firefox window open and then try to open online help.
• IC-CAP online help is not supported on the Google Chrome browser. Workaround: Use Internet Explorer or Firefox version 39 or above to view ADS documentation.
• If the IC-CAP help does not show any content, throws an error, or does not display any search results. Workaround: Close the help and delete the contents of the following directory:
  • On Windows 7: C:\Users\<Windows_Login_ID>\AppData\Local\Keysight\Help
  • On Linux: $HOME/.local/share/Keysight/Help
• IC-CAP Qt search does not support [] or {} or any other text using these combinations. 

Simulation

• • Segment Sweep with Noise analysis is not creating the correct netlist for the ADS simulator.
  • Simulating to ADS 2014.01 or later requires IC-CAP 2014.04 or newer version.  Older versions of IC-CAP cannot work with ADS 2014.01 and beyond. 
  • When performing ADS simulations with Verilog-A references using ADS 2014 and IC-CAP 2014.04 on Linux, ensure to set the environment variable, ADS_LICENSE_FILE, to reference your IC-CAP license file before launching IC-CAP.  Without this setting, ADS will be unable to properly compile *.va files for simulation.

  • ADS simulations to IC-CAP 2016.01 are now performed in the $HOME/hpeesof/iccap_ads/data directory and not in the current working directory. Although it does not affect most simulations, if you direct ADS to load a file relative to the current working directory with the assumption that current working directory will be the same as IC-CAP, this will no longer work for simulations to ADS 2016.01.  Please modify such netlists to refer to the full path of the file that ADS must access.
