Compact-model chain
A demonstrated workflow connects materials and device models with circuit-level evaluation.
Product overview
VirtualFab
Explore how process choices may affect device and circuit behavior. VirtualFab aims to bring more modeling into early design decisions and help teams understand where estimates need further validation.

device modeling connected to circuit-level evaluation
Overview
Explore process choices earlier.
VirtualFab aims to help teams evaluate process changes earlier in the design cycle. Models and estimates remain subject to validation against relevant measurements.
Current capabilities
Early modeling components
Device geometries
Early process-structure modeling capabilities are under development.
Step surrogates
Published research informs our exploration of process modeling and faster simulation techniques.
Next steps
Modeling and validation
B1
Process modeling
Estimate how process changes affect device behavior.
B2
Design feedback
Show model results in a form design teams can compare.
B3
Model hand-off
Carry important parameters and assumptions into later design work.
B4
Validation
Use new measurements to assess model quality.
Applications
For process and design teams
01
Process and design teams evaluating options earlier in the development cycle.
02
Teams studying process and design trade-offs before committing to physical trials.
03
Teams evaluate these models against relevant measurements.
Current status. The full process-to-circuit workflow is still in development. We are evaluating individual components against measured data.
