Operational model order reduction for nanoscale IC Electronics

Objectif

The project aims at developing methods capable of reducing simulation time. The common denominator in these methods is the creation of a model of the Integrated Circuit (IC) behaviour, in which the model behaviour is less complex than the complete behaviour of the IC itself, but in which the essential characteristics of IC behaviour have been preserved. Such methods are Behavioural Model Order Reduction (BMOR) methods, Model Order Reduction (MOR) methods and Response Surface Modelling (RSM) methods. Behavioural simulation with the models created with these methods is much less computation intensive than simulation of the complete IC behaviour. This enables the simulation of complete systems that otherwise would be impossible to simulate. Developing the above mentioned model reduction methods, requires knowledge that currently is scattered over many sites in Europe. Much algorithmic knowledge exists at universities, much of the application knowledge however is present in industry.
The combination of the two types of knowledge is essential to come to algorithms that are suited for industrial use. This is the key aspect of the project: it facilitates the exchange of knowledge between the industrial partner Philips (PHI) and three academic partners renowned for their competence in model reduction methods. These partners are Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC), University of Antwerp (UNA) and Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), with their respective competences in MOR-, RSM- and BMOR methods. The project creates a multiple win-win situation: the industrial partner can improve its competitive position, while the academic partners can rise to a level that meets international standards. The research carried out in the project is the basis for innovation, that allows the industrial partner to maintain its competitive position and which allows the academic partners to teach up-to-date methods to students.
