The PCM Model Tool (PCMT) is an innovative web-based interface that allows for the generation of a model set extracted based on measured Process Control Monitoring (PCM) silicon data. The PCMT model is in effect a single statistical model run corresponding to a specific wafer(s), or lot of wafers.

The PCMT engine will use the nominal model distributed with the Jazz design kit and will adjust it through a modified Backward Propagation of Variances (BPV) infrastructure to match specific PCM data sets. Within PCMT, all PCM data that has visibility into the models is accounted for. The PCMT tool efficiently allows the designer to correlate wafer measurements to Spectre® simulations, serving as an effective tool for design optimization and cycle time reduction.

PCMT is currently available for SBC18, CA18 and SBC35.
