CMC Timeline for Multigate Compact Model Standardization

The CMC Subcommittee on Multigate Models has published timeline for multigate compact model standardization assuming resolution by 2Q11. Proposal: model freeze date would be after model evaluation
  • Would be justified by concurrent model and technology development
  • Model developers would have the ability to model changes during mod elevaluation
  • Must be done with subcommittee agreement (reasonableness check)
  • No additional time allowed in model evaluation
  • Code frozen at end of model evaluation
