IC Cap Device Software 1. Integrated Circuit Characterization and Analysis Program (lC-CAP) is the industry

standard for DC and RF semiconductor device modeling. IC-CAP extracts accurate

compact models used in high speed/digital, analog and power RF applications.

2. The most advanced semiconductor foundries and IDMs rely on IC-CAP for modeling

silicon CMOS, Bipolar, compound gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN) and

many other device technologies. IC-CAP is the most advanced, customizable modeling

software and includes measurement, simulation, optimization and statistical analysis

tools.

Applications:

• Open software architecture enables maximum accuracy and provides ultimate flexibility to

create and automate measurement, extraction and verification procedures.

• Turnkey extraction solutions for industry standard CMOS models, such as BSIM3/BSIM4, PSP

and HiSIM, minimize the learning curve and maximize model accuracy.

• Most direct links to commercial simulators ensure consistency between extracted models and

the simulators used by circuit designers.
