Accent Places a DIVA at Modelithics, Inc.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers BEND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2002 Accent Optical Technologies (www.accentopto.com ), a leading supplier of optoelectronics and silicon semiconductor process control systems, today announced the placement of a DIVA system with Modelithics, Inc. (www.modelithics.com), a newly formed company providing precision measurement services and computer-aided-engineering models to the RF/microwave industry. "We will utilize Accent's DIVA Dynamic I(V) Analyzer in the performance of diode and transistor characterization and modeling work for our customers. This will also assist Accent in demonstrating the broad applicability of DIVA as a critical part of the path to accurate, non-linear model development," stated Dr. Larry Dunleavy, President of Modelithics. Dr. Peter Blakey, Director of Product Marketing for DIVA at Accent said, "We are obviously very pleased that Modelithics, an emerging leader in the development of nonlinear device A nonlinear device is a device which does not have a linear input/output relation. In a diode, for example, the current is a non-linear function of the voltage: DIVA is a pulsed current voltage measurement Voltage measurement Determination of the difference in electrostatic potential between two points. The unit of voltage in the International System of Units (SI) is the volt, defined as the potential difference between two points of a conducting wire carrying a instrument that performs measurements under conditions that are representative of the physical conditions that exist in practical RF, microwave and millimeter One thousandth of a meter, or 1/25th of an inch. See metric system. wave circuits. It boosts yield by giving early and swift detection of defects in semiconductor devices, and shrinks time to market by reducing circuit design iterations. DIVA was launched by Accent in Q3 of 2001 and has experienced rapid market acceptance worldwide. For sales information, please contact: 800/900-0955 (US), +44 (0) 1904 715500 (UK) or email sales@accentopto.com. Modelithics was formed in Q1 2001 to address the industry-wide need for better RF & Microwave active and passive models. Models for over 2000 commercial microwave components are available for licensing, and a wide range of custom model services are available, including our short turn-around Models-On-Demand(TM) service. For sales information, please contact: (813) TO-MODEL, or email sales@modelithics.com. Accent Optical Technologies (www.accentopto.com) is a leading supplier of optoelectronic and silicon process control systems. The company's legacy dates backs over 300 years to its optical instrument manufacturing roots in York, England. It serves leading manufacturers of laser diodes A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but the laser diode generates a smaller beam that is easier to couple with the smaller core , VCSELs, HBTs and high electron mobility Electron Mobility In physics, electron mobility (or simply, mobility), is a quantity relating the drift velocity of electrons to the applied electric field across a material, according to the formula: transistors and supplies optical CD measurement, thin film characterization and optical lithography lithography (lĭthŏg`rəfē), type of planographic or surface printing. It is distinguished from letterpress (relief) printing and from intaglio printing (in which the design is cut or etched into the plate). feedback control systems to leading silicon device manufacturers. Accent Optical Technologies a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. headquartered in Bend, Oregon Bend is a city in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States. The name Bend was derived from "Farewell Bend," the designation used by early pioneers to refer to the location along the Deschutes River where the town eventually was platted, one of the few fordable points along the , operates in 19 countries with more than 280 employees, including over 70 technologists. |
