Innotech Corp is to act as a sales and support agent for Japanese semiconductor device modelling company Modech. Established in July 2002 by senior engineers each with more than ten years of experience in device modelling, Modech provides modelling services for the development and design of integrated circuits for making optimal use of cutting-edge semiconductor processing technologies such as nanotechnology, SOI and SiGe (silicon germanium). Modech possesses world-class technology covering the measurement, evaluation and analysis of semiconductor processes, devices and circuits, and model construction.

The company provides its customers with the advanced modelling expertise essential for high precision circuit simulations, which allow designers to measure a range of IC characteristics such as delay, noise, frequency, and distortion more efficiently.

According to Toshifumi Kaneko, Director of Innotech and General Manager of the Cadence Technology Division: "Taking responsibility for the sales of Modech's modelling services will allow Innotech to create the design environments its customers need to cut down their time to market.

This is expected to pay great dividends in complementing our existing sales of Cadence's design tools.

We are also confident that our partnership with Modech will take us a step closer to becoming a total solutions supplier playing an integral role in our customers' business operations".

Hitoshi Aoki, President and Representative Director of Modech adds: "Innotech is renowned for the trust placed in it by its semiconductor-related clients and the excellence of its technology.

We here at Modech are therefore extremely pleased to be able to consign the company our product sales and service provision operations.

Our own consultants will now be free to focus their efforts on developing and providing the kind of services required to solve ever more demanding problems".

High-precision circuit simulations increase the efficiency of the design process but require highly accurate semiconductor libraries that themselves require considerable expense and cutting-edge expertise to develop.

Japanese semiconductor makers and IC developers have therefore encountered significant problems developing precise device modelling techniques.

Japanese companies in particular have trouble attaining the parameters required to create accurate simulations on the basis of device size for SOI and bulk CMOS device models used in the design of ICs.

Innotech is currently responsible for sales of the IC design tools of US company Cadence.

Adding Modech's modelling services to its line-up is an integral part of the company's plan to be able to provide its customers with a full range of solutions relating to circuit simulation environments.

Management expects annual sales of over 1 billion yen in three years' time.

Modech is also actively involved in device modelling research, and its annual new technology presentations at relevant international conventions, such as those of IEICE (the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers), have received great praise within the industry.
