Machine Learning Based Device Modeling

IC-CAP 2027 introduces fully automated example flows for the PSP and BSIM_BULK compact models. Powered by the upgraded Machine Learning (ML) Optimizers, these flows extract model parameters unattended and deliver accurate results, even for complex models that traditionally require manual effort. The new proprietary ML Hybrid optimizer combines global and local algorithms to cut iterations on long-running tasks without sacrificing accuracy.

The upgraded IC-CAP Model Generator manages your data and organizes your extraction flow. It consolidates extraction into fewer, largely non-iterative stages and optimizes many parameters at once, replacing repeated manual tuning.

The new Advanced Optimizer Suite adds several capabilities:

  • ML Hybrid optimizer and Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO)
  • Bring-Your-Own (BYO) optimizer, to plug in your own algorithm
  • Custom cost functions that work with all advanced optimizers
  • Dynamic error plot that updates during optimization, plus extensive logging

The suite is available in the new W7003E AIML Advanced Extraction Tools product and its bundles, W7303B and W7307B.

IC-CAP 2027 also improves its links to Cadence Spectre and Siemens Eldo simulators. For Spectre, multiple netlists are now combined into one, removing the bottleneck of running separate simulations for each IC-CAP Setup and delivering order-of-magnitude speedups (DC simulations only). The Eldo link now supports multiport S-parameter and high-frequency (HF) noise simulations.

IC-CAP 2027 now ships with Python 3.14.6, including new and updated packages. For guidance, see the official Python documentation at www.python.org.
