The foundry/fabless business model has been used successfully for decades with SPICE models as the key channel for circuit designers to understand the process and device performance. SPICE models are now getting more attention by not only foundry engineers, but circuit designers as well, especially for high-end designs at advanced nodes.
SPICE models now play a critical role to ensure a design achieves good performance and yield. In fact, they are more important than ever.
