Keysight Model Builder Program (MBP) 2025 is an advanced device-modeling platform designed for creating accurate SPICE, macro, and Verilog-A compact models used in CMOS, RF, analog, and high-voltage semiconductor design. The 2025 release enhances automation, modeling accuracy, and workflow efficiency with new scripting, simulation, and model-verification capabilities.
Key Features of MBP 2025
1. Unified Device-Modeling Platform
MBP 2025 integrates SPICE simulation, model parameter extraction, optimization, and model-library generation into a single streamlined tool. It supports a wide range of industry-standard compact models, including BSIM-BULK, BSIM-CMG, BSIM-IMG, and various high-voltage and RF models.
2. Advanced Python Automation (New in 2025)
The 2025 release introduces a built-in Python Editor and a full scripting framework, enabling engineers to automate extraction flows, create custom modeling sequences, and integrate MBP into larger design workflows.
3. Parallel MOSFET Simulation (New in 2025)
MBP 2025 improves simulation speed through parallel MOSFET engine processing, dramatically reducing runtime during model extraction and iterative optimization.
4. Corner and Variation Model Verification
The updated QA Express environment now supports corner checks, enabling verification of PVT, mismatch, and statistical models to ensure accuracy across all operating conditions.
5. Support for Compact, Macro, and Verilog-A Models
MBP handles a full spectrum of device models, including traditional SPICE models, sub-circuits, macro models, and Verilog-A behavioral models—covering digital logic, analog, RF, FinFET, multi-gate FETs, and emerging device technologies.
6. Reliability and Aging Modeling
The platform includes automated flows for extracting degradation models such as BTI, HCI, and stress-induced shifts, helping engineers predict long-term device behavior.
7. Specialized Modeling Packages
MBP 2025 provides solutions for:
-
Layout-dependent effects (LDE / LPE)
-
SRAM cell modeling
-
Scalable inductor modeling
