Device modeling and characterization challenges

• As device geometries get smaller, the need to use accurate models and to control statistical variations in device processing performance becomes ever more important
• Circuit designers need models that can accurately predict DC behaviors, as well as RF and noise behaviors
• Different process technologies require a variety of models that can be quickly adapted to the unique processes
• With modeling measurements taking hours or even days, measurement control software must also work with probers and instruments to allow automated measurements across temperature
