Agilent Technologies expands investment in device modelling with new China R&D centre
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced plans to expand the company's investment in its Integrated Circuit Characterization and Analysis Program (IC-CAP) device modelling software. The company will establish a new research and development modelling centre in Beijing, China, to better serve the industry's semiconductor foundries and to respond to advancements in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) modelling in particular.
"We've seen several leading semiconductor foundries choose IC-CAP because they want a device-modelling platform that keeps pace with CMOS technology advances. We're increasing our investment in this important area by adding key engineering talent in Asia, where we can work closely with these foundries," said Jim McGillivary, general manager with Agilent's EEs of EDA division.
