Abstract

Device modeling plays an important role in VLSI circuit design because computer-aided circuit analysis results are only as accurate as the models used. This indicates a need for robust tools that can facilitate the testing, validation and characterization procedure of semiconductor device models. Certify, the graphical tool for model characterization and validation, is a step in this direction [1]. The software architecture and different modules of Certify have been described in this paper.
