PathWave Device Modeling Bundle Software
PathWave Device Modeling software bundles provide device modeling engineers with a choice of valuepacked, pre-configured combinations of software built for specific device modeling design challenges. These combinations enable you to address your measurement and modeling needs efficiently.
PathWave Device Modeling and Measurement bundles are based on the W7001E PathWave IC-CAP Core and add separate PathWave Device Modeling or Measurement elements, each of which provides specific model extraction or measurement capabilities.
Model extraction elements are themselves comprised of one or more separate modules, which add additional modeling functions. These modules, which were formerly sold separately, are now grouped together into very efficient and effective combinations.

Bundles
The W7300B PathWave IC-CAP Device Modeling Platform is our core bundle and allows users to run any custom model extraction or unlicensed extraction examples, including basic measurements. The W7311B PathWave IC-CAP Wafer Professional Measurement bundle supports wafer-level automated measurements and is designed for measurement-only test benches. The W7325B PathWave IC-CAP CMC GaN RF Modeling adds the CMC GaN model extraction examples to the W7300B. The crossplatform W6325B PathWave MBP/IC-CAP Device Model Extraction is ideal for silicon users who plan to do baseband modeling with MBP and RF modeling with IC-CAP. Another cross-platform W6347B PathWave MQA/IC-CAP Modeling Bundle is suitable for users who want to do RF model extraction with IC-CAP and RF model QA with MQA.
