Accelicon announces Context Dependent Modeling Platform
Cupertino, CA May 25, 2010 Accelicon Technologies, Inc. announces the market’s first commercially available Context Dependent Modeling Platform based on Accelicon’s flagship device modeling solution MBP. The performance of FETs can vary significantly, at advanced process nodes, due to layout dependent proximity effects. Sources of LDEs include Well Proximity Effect (WPE), lithography distortions, un-intentional stress sources such as Shallow Trench Isolation (LOD Effect) and intentional stressors which are used to enhance the performance of the device. These enhancement techniques include dual-stress liners, embedded SiGe and stress memorization techniques. At advanced process nodes engineers must analyze LDEs to minimize undesirable proximity effects and lithography distortions, and effectively utilize stress enhancement techniques. This analysis can only be conducted after layout extraction, SPICE modeling alone is not sufficient.
Accelicon’s Context Dependent Modeling Platform enables semiconductor companies to quickly incorporate and evaluate stress enhancement techniques, and minimize undesirable LDEs, in designs. It is comprehensive, addressing all sources of LDEs and their effect on performance, and supports both Macro-heavy and LVS-heavy approaches. The Context Dependent Modeling Platform is scalable to the challenges of future process nodes. And, it is integrated into existing EDA methodologies incorporating full-custom layout, parasitic extraction, and SPICE simulator products.
