As VBIC includes the self-heating effects and the quasi-saturation
modeling, VBIC model is the more advanced one compared to simple Gummel-Poon
model. Knowledge*ON provides, for more accurate circuit simulation,
its precise HBT VBIC model to our customers with and passive libraries
resulting in reduction of foundry iteration time before manufacturing
stage.
Using Knowledge*ON¡¯s accurate VBIC model, RF designers who are willing
to make better outputs in better condition, will benefit and will
be able to save cost that used to be consumed due to foundry model
inaccuracy.
