  1. XMOD Technologies: Hicum toolkit & extraction services Bertrand Ardouin Thomas Zimmer Michael Schröter HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  2. OUTLINE • XMOD: Presentation • How to choose a compact model ? • Measurement, Extraction, Modelling Services and Consulting • Hicum “Aperitif toolkit” Simple approach HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  3. Who ? • TEAM • Bertrand ARDOUIN, PhD, University Bordeaux Laboratoire de Microélectronique IXL • Thomas ZIMMER, Associate Professor, University Bordeaux, Laboratoire de Microélectronique IXL • Michael SCHRÖTER, Professor, T. University Dresden, chair for electron devices and integrated circuits HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  4. XMOD is here not here Where ? Laboratoire de Microélectronique IXL HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  5. What ? • A Start-up company in the Bipolar modelling domain : • Offering parameter extraction software • Provide extraction and modelling services (parameter extraction, on wafer measurements, …) • Hicum (SGP and VBIC models also supported) • Single transistor and scaling approach • Custom models for specific applications (HDL-A) • Co-operation and support from : • Technical University Dresden • University Bordeaux HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  6. What ? On wafer measurement capabilities NWA HP 8510C (HF, CV) HP 4155B (DC) C-V meter HP 4284 (C-V) T controler -60 °C up to 200 °C Semi-automatic prober Karl Suss PA200 HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  7. What ? The “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” Single transistor methodology “In House” ICCAP tools for complete parameter extraction HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  8. Gummel-Poon VBIC Mextram Hicum Simplicity: Time requirement= save money Why ? Advanced compact models Efficiency: ability to model complex technologies HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  9. Gummel-Poon VBIC Mextram Hicum Simplicity: Time requirement= save money Why ? Advanced compact models Efficiency: ability to model complex technologies HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  10. Gummel-Poon VBIC Mextram Hicum Simplicity: Time requirement= save money Why ? Advanced compact models Efficiency: ability to model complex technologies HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  11. Gummel-Poon VBIC Mextram Hicum Simplicity: Time requirement= save money Why ? Efficiency: ability to model complex technologies HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  12. Gummel-Poon VBIC Mextram Hicum Simplicity: Time requirement= save money Why ? Scalability and Physical meaning not taken into account Single transistor strategy Efficiency: ability to model complex technologies HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  13. Why ? • There’s a need for companies in this domain: • Help to accelerate the FIRST use of Hicum and help to establish a wide use • Provide complete extraction services for companies having no experience in the bipolar domain (SiGe) • Provide consulting for modelling very High frequency devices, need of scaling, modelling precision, statistics, temperature, ... Centralise Bipolar experience HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  14. Gummel-Poon Hicum Switch Goals of the “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” ? • Learn a new model and new tools • Complex scaling approach • New test structures on the wafers HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  15. Gummel-Poon Hicum Switch Simplified approach Decouple Scaling from parameter extraction No specific test structures Goals of the “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” allows to use the single transistor strategy (SGP like) HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden

  16. Evaluate Hicum without too much effort A smooth transition from SGP to Hicum Obtain efficient and physically meaningful parameter sets for Hicum(from direct extraction) Goals of the “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” “Hicum Aperitif Toolkit” allows to: HICUM Workshop, June 6 - 7, Dresden
