  1. Accelicon OverviewMOS-AKApril 4, 2008 Tim K Smith Accelicon Technologies Accelicon Confidential

  2. Accelicon Technologies, Inc. • The Market Leader: • Device-level model generation • Device-level model validation • PDK validation • Founded 2002 • Over 60 customers • Growing, profitable

  3. Accelicon Worldwide Europe Korea Cupertino HQ Beijing Japan Shanghai Taiwan Singapore

  4. Accelicon Motivation • Device-level models & PDKs increasingly difficult to generate and validate for advanced process nodes • Existing solutions are antiquated and inefficient • Foundries, IDMs and Fabless Design companies are addressing requirements

  5. Accelicon’s Solutions MBP Device-Level SPICE model extraction & generation MQA Device-Level SPICE model validation, comparison, documentation PQA PDK validation for DFM effects 5/Accelicon Confidential

  6. Next-Generation Extraction and Model Generation Used by Foundries and Design Houses Worldwide Noted for efficiency, accuracy, ease of use MBP – Model Builder Program

  7. MBP – The Accelicon Advantage Efficient – Superior Performance Internal SPICE engine 10x faster Task Tree Automation combines flexibility & automation Accurate – Best Fitting Advanced Optimization Algorithm Bin-Global model conversion Model tweaking capability Ease of Use Intuitive Java-based UI Excellent model debug: Equation viewer, Error monitor

  8. MBP Task Tree Task Tree is Collection of Procedures for Model Generation

  9. MBP Equation Viewer Adjust Parameter, and observe equation change in real time

  10. MQA – Model Quality Assurance The Standard for Device Level Model Validation Provides: Validation Comparison Reporting Improve model quality & reduce validation effort through automation 10/Accelicon Confidential

  11. MQA – The Accelicon Advantage Improve Model Quality Knowledge-based Rules provide comprehensive checks Tools provide easy debug Automate Model Validation Procedures Increases validation productivity by 10x Understand model flaws and operating regions of interest Compare models, foundries, simulators Communicate Productively Full Reporting & Documentation functions Proven Methodology All common simulation environments supported Over 100 rules supported, 5 years+ use

  12. MQA Knowledge-Based Rule-Driven

  13. Process Corners

  14. Vth vs L for Two Models

  15. PQA PDK Quality Assurance Automate SPICE validation of layout dependent DFM effects on PDK Second order parasitic components Litho effects Rules-Driven Simulation, Layout

  16. PQA Flow QA RC Extraction QA OPC SPICE Model SPICE Corner model Statistical model Mismatch PQA Assura / Rules File NL Calibre / Hercules PCELL or Layout LPE Decks – with or Generator DB without DFM Characterization Comparison Documentation Existing Layout

  17. Conclusion Accelicon is completely dedicated to providing DSM solutions for model generation, validation The key benefits of these solutions are: Productivity – Complexity of models and PDKs require automated validation Quality – Increasing importance of the integrity of underlying model
