The HICUM Aperitif Toolkit For Bipolar Compact Modeling
Dr. Bertrand Ardouin, founder of a new company, XMOD Technologies, Bordeaux, France.

PDF File (985 KB), 27 slides.

The paper covers advanced topics around the bipolar HICUM model with emphasis on the parameter extraction methodologies within the IC-CAP environment. Dr. Ardouin presents the HICUM Aperitif toolkit that has been developed by XMOD Technologies to facilitate a smooth migration from the SPICE-GP model to the HICUM model.

The toolkit is intended to provide the modeling engineers with user-friendly extraction routines of the HICUM model parameters for single-geometry transistors prior to taking on the higher level of generating scalable model parameters.

8:45 AM - 9:30 AM

The BSIM3 Device Modeling Package Revisited
Dr. Thomas Gneiting, the founder of Advanced Modeling Solution, Stuttgart, Germany.

PDF File (684 KB), 35 slides.

Dr. Gneiting presents an enhanced version of the BSIM3 parameter extraction toolkit with the following new features:

• The redesigned user interface using the IC-CAP Studio.
• The enhanced data base management which is compatible to the BSIM4 Modeling Package.
• A new, fully scalable RF macro model.

As an outlook, a new fine-tuning approach is presented which allows users to generate their own final optimizations in a very flexible and convenient way.

9:30 AM - 10:00 AM

IC-CAP studio application example: The Corner Model Generator
Dr. Zheng Zeng, Device Modeling Manager, UMC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA.

PDF File (736 KB), 13 slides.

Since introduced in 2001, the IC-CAP Studio has been an exciting new tool, as it gives IC-CAP users the power to develop customized the graphical user interface (GUI) for their device modeling processes and methodologies.

In this presentation, Dr. Zheng Zeng shows us a nicely designed Corner Model Generator that is so intuitive and can be leveraged among his colleagues. It is a well-organized network of GUI that, for example, enables the execution of IC-CAP functions and transforms with the click of the mouse.

The GUI developed using IC-CAP studio makes the corner model generating process much easier to understand and use by Dr. Zheng Zeng and his colleagues. The example shows the power of IC-CAP Studio that you can take advantage of to leverage your work and help others reduce the time to process and understand the process flow.
