IC-CAP 2008 (with Add-Ons 1 & 2) - What's New

IC-CAP 2008 (with Add-ons 1 & 2):
Bringing Innovative Modeling Technology To Our Customers

The IC-CAP 2008 release introduced the IC-CAP Target Modeling Package. Used to extract or re-center CMOS models from semiconductor manufacturing process target data, the Target Modeling Package enables engineers to develop device simulation models earlier in the design cycle for faster overall integrated circuit design.

The IC-CAP 2008 Add-On 1 release introduced the Hisim2.4 Model Extraction Package, an easy-to-use and efficient flow to measure and extract DC and RF parameters of the Hisim2.4.1 model.

The IC-CAP 2008 Add-On 2 release introduced a similar extraction package for the Hisim_HV model for symmetrical HVMOS and asymmetrical LDMOS devices.
