Deep-Submicron Modeling Package Adds RF Extraction Module

July 8, 2002

An RF extension to the 85194K BSIM4 Modeling Package for deep-submicron CMOS devices results in a complete dc-to-RF modeling environment. The RF extraction module, now included within the open Integrated Circuit Characterization and Analysis Program (IC-CAP) modeling software, enables accurate simulation of RF CMOS devices and reduces overall design time. It provides measurement-based extraction of dc, CV, temperature, and noise models, with one set of parameters to fit a wide range of device geometries. A built-in user interface automates the process. Pricing for the 85194K BSIM4 Modeling Package starts at $17,500. The RF extraction module comes at no cost to those with current support contracts.
