Introduction
Integrated Circuit (IC) design stands on the shoulders of device modeling and characterization. The semiconductor industry requires fast and accurate device models.
Circuits are being pushed to higher frequencies as device geometries are becoming smaller with higher chip device count.
Without adequate models, designers cannot accurately simulate their circuits. This leads to poor circuit performance on the lab bench.
Some large companies designate entire groups to device characterization and model extraction.
This requires measuring and deciphering mountains of data as semiconductor processes are fine-tuned. To overcome these challenges, combined expertise in the following areas are required.
Be First To Market
Time-to-market is critical, especially in fast-moving areas of the semiconductor industry like mobile phone platforms, IoT sensors, or automotive circuits.
Increasingly, companies are requiring customer delivery of first prototypes due to cost and closing market opportunities. This makes the modeling and characterization crucial.
Characterizing an unfamiliar model can take months to perfect and result in the loss of an entire market window. Accurate characterization and validation of device models provides the confidence to successfully deliver today’s products to market.
Typical device modeling and characterization labs require cohesive moving parts — getting any of these wrong could cost your team time and money.
Accurate Measurements and Device Models
Advanced device modeling knowledge for various devices and device models, qualified engineering resources, and accurate measurement environments are all essential to perform model extractions.
We understand these objectives and have the experience to assist companies to navigate these challenges — providing advanced device modeling services for the most sophisticated requirements, all based on a long history of working at RF and microwave frequencies.
With device modeling services, you can choose from a variety of options including model extractions for state of the art models such as BSIM6, BSIM-CMG or DynaFET; cutting edge technologies like GaN or valuable characterization; and, analysis of 1/f behavior, reliability and statistics.
Keysight’s device modeling service centers and university lab partnerships are placed globally to provide training classes that will bring your modeling expertise to the next level.
Service Scope
All models rest on the shoulders of highly accurate measurements. Through the Keysight labs around the world and partnerships with universities, government labs and other third parties, we offer measurement services in the following areas.
