Benefits

  • Develop cost effective, leading-edge CMOS, bipolar, and power device manufacturing processes
  • Predict 1D and 2D device structure characteristics by accurately simulating ion implantation, diffusion, oxidation, silicidation, epitaxy, etching and deposition processing, reducing experimental runs and technology development time
  • Analyze stress history in all layers as a result of thermal oxidation, silicidation, thermal mismatch, etching, deposition and stress relaxation
  • Study impurity diffusion, including oxidation-enhanced diffusion (OED), transient-enhanced diffusion (TED), interstitial clustering, dopant activation and dose loss
