Defining Model Components

When you create an IC-CAP model, you must define the components. You can create a new model and then describe its physical and electrical characteristics or you can load and modify an existing model. Some components, such as user-defined variables and test circuitry, are optional.

The general procedure for creating a model is:

    • Add a model to the work area.
    • Define variables that are global to the model.
    • Define the device or circuit to be characterized.
    • View and modify the parameter values to be used in the simulations.
    • Add new (or modify existing) DUTs.
     • If necessary, define a test circuit.
     • Edit device parameters specific to the DUT
     • Define variables that are global to the DUT.
     • Add new (or modify existing) setups.
    • For each setup, define the following:
     • Inputs to the device or circuit.
     • Outputs to monitor.
     • Variables global to the setup.
     • Values of instrument options for all instruments used in a setup.
     • Transforms, including mathematical functions and extractions.
     • Plots that specify graphical and tabular formats for the data.
