[2] Commercial and industrial analog simulators (such as SPICE) need to add device models as technology advances (see Moore's law) and earlier models become inaccurate.
Before this group was formed, new transistor models were largely proprietary, which severely limited the choice of simulators that could be used.
In May 2013, the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) and TechAmerica announced the transfer of the Compact Model Council to Si2 and a renaming to Compact Model Coalition.
[4] Some of the models supported by the Compact Modeling Coalition include: To address the increasing need for Reliability (ageing) simulation the CMC nominated the OMI Interface as the new EDA vendor independent solution for ageing simulations.
The standardization will allow Silicon Foundries to develop a common set of aging models that will work with all significant analog simulators.
