Abstract
The article discusses aspects of implementation of a characterization system to reduce the total characterization time during the transition to advanced technological standards, as well as to improve the accuracy and quality of Liberty files. In particular, an effective approach to the use of distributed computing is presented and some details of its implementation are considered; the algorithm for organizing characterization in the "resume" mode is analyzed; the mathematical basis of the SPICE simulation results processing for CCS-models creating is described. The experimental data presented in the article confirm the practical value of the proposed approaches.
