From Equivalent Circuit Models to Advanced GaN and 3D EM Solutions

Modelithics delivers industry-leading custom modeling services for RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and high-speed applications. Our capabilities span equivalent circuit models, nonlinear active device models, behavioral amplifier models, world-class GaN transistor models, substrate-scalable passive component models, and 3D EM models for packages, interconnects, and complex structures.

Leveraging proven measurement-based characterization and validation methodologies, we provide highly accurate models that help engineers reduce design iterations, improve first-pass success, and accelerate product development. Every model is delivered with comprehensive validation data and documentation to ensure confidence in simulation results.

Types of Modeling Work

Modelithics provides expert measurement-based modeling services this includes on-wafer, die and packaged device characterization to the finished model.

NL Transistor and Diode Modeling

Modelithics handles every aspect of non-linear, noise and small-signal modeling for all types of microwave semiconductor devices including GaN, GaAs, InP, and Silicon field effect (FETs and HEMTs) and bipolar (BJT/HBT) transistors as well as PIN, schottky, varactor and step recovery diodes.

Process Development Kits (PDKs)

Modelithics leverages more than 25 years of PDK development experience to deliver scalable, layout-aware models for discrete die, packaged, and surface-mount devices, enabling foundries and design teams to create enhanced multi-simulator PDKs with integrated design-rule checking, warnings, errors, and advanced model scalability.

Microwave Global Models™

Scalable equivalent circuit models are developed from measured data to accurately represent RF and microwave component performance across operating conditions and design configurations.

3D EM Modeling

Physics-based models for inductors, connectors, packages, and other passive structures provide accurate electromagnetic representations for 3D simulation. Modelithics 3D Brick EM Models™ leave capacitance free to tune, enabling efficient design optimization without additional EM simulations.

Active & Passive Device Modeling

Measurement-based nonlinear and passive device models accurately represent large-signal behavior while incorporating advanced scaling capabilities, enabling engineers to predict gain, output power, efficiency, linearity, thermal effects, and dynamic operating conditions across multiple design configurations without additional measurements.
