Why Should We (<strong>Designers</strong>) Care?<br />
• Models bridge the technology and design worlds<br />
• The truth about our models<br />
– Speculative and inherently uncertain<br />
– Cannot assume they are accurate and <strong>to</strong> 10 sig figs<br />
– Primarily tailored <strong>to</strong> logic, not an<strong>al</strong>og<br />
– Limited <strong>to</strong> fab understanding of design usage of devices<br />
– Intrinsic<strong>al</strong>ly late <strong>to</strong> capture new effects, e.g., proximity<br />
• We can design b<strong>et</strong>ter circuits when we understand<br />
– the technology that our models are attempting <strong>to</strong> capture<br />
– the technology effects that are not in our models<br />
– What the fab prioritizes<br />
