Getting Started

When opening the toolkit (examples/model_files/hbt /AHBT_Package.mdl), you will see an icon in the IC-CAP/Main window as shown below.

Figure 159 Starting the Agilent-HBT GUI from IC-CAP/Main window

Double-click on the icon to start the toolkit.

Figure 160 Welcome window

Follow the instruction shown in the opened Welcome window.

Note


If you check the Demo mode check box, no measurement will be performed and simulation will be done instead to demonstrate the function of Measure button.

You can open the native model window for advanced use by clicking the Open Model File button. Please close the model window when you go back to the toolkit's GUI because leaving the model window open slows the GUI operation performance.

The Start Modeling button opens a window as shown below:

Figure 161 Start Modeling window

If Demo mode was checked, *DEMO* is displayed at the bottom of the window as shown below:

In DEMO mode, you will also see *DEMO* at the bottom left corner of each work window, which will be described later.

Note


The difference between DEMO mode and non-DEMO mode is only in performing measurements. (Simulation is done instead in DEMO mode.)

Follow the instruction shown in the opened Start Modeling window.

Structure of the Modeling Package

The modeling package consists of three parts:

    • Settings window
    • Measure window
    • Extract window

Each window has tabbed folders that are ordered from left to right according to the task flow, so you can process the folders from left to right to proceed with your modeling task.

The following sections describe the three windows in detail.
