CoventorWare 2018

CoventorWare

Successful MEMS suppliers verify all aspects of their designs with simulations before sending them to the fab. Successful MEMS suppliers use the CoventorWare® design and simulation platform.

Accelerometer model built in CoventorWare with a process design kit (PDK) for imec’s monolithic MEMS/CMOS process

CoventorWare is an integrated suite of design and simulation software that has the accuracy, capacity, and speed to address real-world MEMS designs. The suite has many MEMS-specific features for modeling and simulating a wide range of MEMS devices, including inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyros), microphones, resonators, and actuators. The included field solvers provide comprehensive coverage of MEMS-specific multi-physics, such as electrostatics, coupled electro-mechanics, piezoelectric, piezoresistive, and damping effects.

Whether exploring design concepts or performing detailed verification of device behavior, CoventorWare users leverage years of Coventor’s MEMS simulation experience and continuous improvement as well as the ever-increasing power of high-performance computers. Widely recognized within the MEMS industry as the best-in-class solution for multi-physics MEMS simulation, CoventorWare sets the standard for MEMS simulation accuracy, capacity and speed.

Process-Driven Design Entry

MEMS are built with a wide array of fabrication processes. The fabrication process and masks (2D layout) together define and constrain the device structure. So, it’s natural that MEMS design entry should mimic the actual flow:

CoventorWare builds 3D models from 2D layout and a description of the fabrication process

Our customers tell us that CoventorWare® provides the most intuitive, fastest way to generate 3D models of their MEMS designs. The CoventorWare front end includes:

a material properties database, pre-populated with commonly used MEMS materials,
a process editor for providing a geometric description of the fabrication process,
a full-featured, hierarchical layout editor with MEMS-specific features like support for true curves,
a preprocessor for viewing 3D models and preparing them for analysis,
2D and 3D import/export to widely used formats like GDS2, DXF, SAT, IGES and STEP, and
optional mesh generation and export to Ansys

CoventorWare’s front-end design-entry capabilities are well integrated with the suite of field solvers, but can also be used as a stand-alone front end to 3rd-party FEA tools such as Ansys
