Device Modeling & Characterization New Product Launch Webinar Series

Simplifying and Automating Compact Model Process with Machine Learning

In this webinar, we’ll show how the Machine Learning Optimizer in Device Modeling Model Builder Pro (MBP) dramatically improves modeling efficiency by automating and simplifying complex workflows. By transforming traditional multi-stage workflow into a few streamlined steps, the ML Optimizer reduces complexity, minimizes manual effort, and consistently delivers a globally optimal solution. Once created, an ML Optimizer flow can be easily reused and adapted for other device types or technologies, accelerating model development for new nodes.


Learn


• How the Machine Learning Optimizer in Device Modeling MBP dramatically improves modeling efficiency by automating and simplifying complex workflows.


• How practical demonstrations of ML Optimizer applied to industry-standard compact models and learn


• How to build efficient, automated flows using MBP’s Python environment.

This webinar is ideal for both experienced model developers and newcomers seeking higher modeling efficiency and interested in exploring AI/ML-assisted modeling methods.

RTN Measurement and Stress-testing using A-LFNA/WaferPro


Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) has emerged as a critical reliability concern in advanced semiconductor nodes, particularly in FinFET and advanced CMOS technologies. This webinar presents a comprehensive methodology for Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) characterization and stress testing using the E4727B Advanced Low-Frequency Noise Analyzer (A-LFNA) integrated with Device Modeling WaferPro. The accurate and stable A-LFNA system enables high-sensitivity noise measurements across a wide frequency range and captures discrete switching events indicative of RTN.


Learn


• How to approach stress testing and monitor RTN under various bias and temperature conditions.


• How to approach statistical extraction of RTN parameters such as amplitude and time constants, along with modeling of RTN and flicker noise.


• How to perform RTN evolution and its correlation with device degradation mechanisms.

This webinar is intended for engineers and researchers focused on device reliability, compact modeling, and advanced noise characterization in semiconductor technologies.
