PARIS — CEA-Liten, France-based Laboratory for Innovation in New Energy Technologies and Nanomaterials, has licensed TechModeler behavioral modeling tool suite from Infiniscale SA for its organic electronic devices modeling needs.
CEA-Liten said it is engaged in printing Organic Electronic devices and circuits, and expects to demonstrate, by the end of 2009, a first all printed organic CMOS circuit. Infiniscale's modeling tool enabled them to reduce the development cycle, the laboratory claimed.
"Modeling our devices versus design and technology parameters is critical for our technological developments," stated Isabelle Chartier, Organic Electroniv program manager at CEA-Liten. "Therefore, fast prototyping and fast development cycles achieved with Infiniscale is key to stay on top of the Emerging and promising Organic Electronic market."
Infiniscale claims its behavioral-modeling capability serves design-for-manufacturing (DFM), design-for-yield and technology-CAD applications.
Infiniscale's TechModeler takes in measured or simulated samples, including the output of Spice simulations or electromagnetic simulations.
TechModeler generates analytical Verilog-AMS and VHDL-AMS models for such devices as inductors, transformers, oscillators and PLLs. These models can be used for tasks like sensitivity analysis and statistical yield optimization as well as simulation.
Infiniscale was created in 2005 in Meylan, near Grenoble, France.

10 emerging technologies to watch:
EE Times has compiled a list of emerging technologies that we think will be worth watching out for in 2010. Biofeedback or thought-control of electronics are among the contenders.
10 CEOs out in 2009:
It's been a tough year for the global electronics industry and CEOs. We survey the dismissal of 10 industry CEOs during the first three quarters of 2009 and what's ahead for the rest of the year.
Executive pay:
The economy stinks. Rank-and-file engineers are feeling the pain. What about technology CEOs? We crunched the numbers buried in corporate financial statements to find out. Here's what we found.
10 companies in trouble (revisited):
What follows is an updated version of 10 companies in trouble. Some companies have been removed since the last version, others remain. Still others have been added to the mix.
Early predictions for 2010:
The electronics industry is recovering, but there is still some uncertainty in the market. Some see a boom year in 2010. Some see a double dip. So what's in store for the rest of this year and 2010?
Top 10 IC vendors with cash:
The world's biggest IC companies by revenue rank not only among the best in their respective industry segments but are also more likely to have huge piles of cash that can be used to fund acquisitions, R&D and product development.
Notable women in microelectronics:
There is no better time than a global economic recession to examine the keys to successful corporate governance. So, EE Times has compiled an international list that celebrates women who are business and technology leaders in semis.
EE Times updates Silicon 60:
Seventeen companies have been added to the lastest version of our Silicon 60 list of emerging startups. Forty-three companies survived as emerging companies that are still worth watching.
