Agilent Technologies Inc. and Accelicon Technologies have signed a definitive acquisition agreement. Financial details are not disclosed. The acquisition is believed to further enhance Agilent's leadership in semiconductor device modeling. Accurate, verified device models are critical to reduce R&D design cycles as higher frequencies, smaller technology nodes, new materials and device layouts call for more accurate process design kits.
As the electronics industry advances, market-leading companies look for cost and productivity improvements, facing at the same time, greater simulation accuracy challenges due to chip complexity, fabrication constraints and process variations. To help with this, semiconductor foundries are constantly looking for new ways to improve and streamline their design processes and provide standard design kits with accurate models.
