Legend’s MSIM supports BSIM4.3.0 model for nanometer designs
SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- February 12,
2004 - Legend Design Technology, Inc. today announced the
MSIM circuit simulator provides full modeling support of BSIM4.3.0
for nanometer process technology. MSIM is a high-accuracy circuit
simulator with post-layout RC reduction capability.
Legend’s
MSIM with new BSIM4.3.0 model has been successfully used for
simulating state-of-the-art 90 nm CMOS memory designs by major
foundry customers. It has been observed that the MSIM simulation
results show there is approximately a 3 % difference when
considering stress effects (SA, SB) while measuring rise and fall
times.
For BSIM4.3.0 support, MSIM has been built to handle
the additional electrical mechanisms, model parameters and equations
associated with the new model. This includes:
- A new scalable stress effect model for process induced stress
- where device performance becomes a function of the active area
geometry and the location of the device in the active area.
- A unified current-saturation model that includes all
mechanisms of current saturation, velocity saturation, velocity
overshoot and source end velocity limit.
- A new temperature model format that allows convenient
prediction of temperature effects on saturation velocity,
mobility, and S/D resistances.
- Enhanced accuracy and flexibility of holistic thermal noise
model.
- Improved accuracy of forward body bias model, and
- Extension of gate direct tunneling model to multiple-layer
gate dielectrics.
"Device modeling in circuit simulators
is essential for silicon success of deep-submicron and nanometer SOC
designs. Based upon our clients’ needs, Legend has successfully
implemented the BSIM4.3.0 model in MSIM to offer an accurate and
reliable simulation solution." said Dr. You-Pang Wei, president and
chief executive officer of Legend Design Technology. "We are fully
committed to provide robust circuit simulators that support the
sophisticated and updated models associated with nanometer SOC
designs."
About Legend Design
Technology, Inc.
Legend Design Technology, Inc. is a
leading provider of characterization and simulation software for
semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) in SoC designs. With an
emphasis on productivity and value, Legend’s CharFlo-Memory! tool
set which includes MSL, SpiceCut and MemChar, revolutionizes the
time consuming and error prone processes associated with
characterization. SpiceCut can automatically build critical-path
circuits to reduce simulation time for characterization, especially
from post-layout extracted circuits with resistors and capacitors.
MemChar can automatically characterize the memories and generate the
‘true’ timing and power models. MSL can automate memory
characterization with customized setup of '.Lib-in and .Lib out'.
MSIM is a high-accuracy circuit simulator with post-layout
RC reduction capability. With high accuracy, high speed and
licensing models, MSIM can provide excellent price-performance.
Turbo-MSIM is a high-speed and high-capacity circuit simulator. With
scalable speed, capacity and accuracy, Turbo-MSIM is ideal for
timing and power simulation, function verification and circuit
analysis for SoC designs under deep-submicron and nanometer
technology. For more information, visit www.LegendDesign.com
