Synopsis | Compact Models
(CMs) for circuit simulation have been at the heart of CAD tools for circuit
design over the past decades, and are playing an ever increasingly important
role in the nanometer system-on-chip (SOC) era. As the mainstream
MOS technology is scaled into the nanometer regime, development of a truly
physical and predictive compact model for circuit simulation that covers
geometry, bias, temperature, DC, AC, RF, and noise characteristics becomes
a major challenge.
Workshop on Compact Modeling (WCM) is one of the first of its kind in bringing people in the CM field together. The objective of WCM is to create a truly open forum for discussion among experts in the field as well as feedback from technology developers, circuit designers, and CAD tool vendors. The topics cover all important aspects of compact model development and deployment, within the main theme - compact models for circuit simulation, which are largely categorized into the following groups:

Topic |
Whatever your design goals, to achieve them in silicon you must account for manufacturing variation in your design. A typical foundry collects a huge amount of information on process variation. But this information is not available to the circuit designer in a form that can be used to make design decisions. Compact models have traditionally come with fixed corner files which are useful predicting best and worst case delays of static CMOS logic but not appropriate for other types of circuits or other circuit characteristics. Each member of the Panel will address two board questions from the perspective of their own experience. - What information does the circuit designer need to know in order to design products which meet their design goals across the whole process window. - How can this information be delivered
to and used by the circuit designer.
