    10:00 Schroter: "Statistical modeling - existing methods, approaches and issues"
    11:00 ALL: Discussion
    • technical issues and difficulties
    • suggestions for approaches, requirements
    • viable experimental approaches (PCM test structures, measurements...)
    • available EDA support and infrastructures ? ("circuit surfer", ...)

    13:00 lunch

    Session V - Model release and "productization"

    14:00 Schroter: "Lessons learned from HICUM productization..."
    14:15 ALL: discussion on
    • how much support can be expected from the model developer ?
    • funding for model development and productization - possible approaches
    • are the CMC and its requirements of any use for bipolar models ?
