Towards a Virtual Fab Foundry
Commercial exploitation
- AS-TCAD tool development:
- The VFF can develop tools that generate specific target parameters for the user while hiding all the physical models and parameter extraction behind.
- Even the background simulators can be from any vendors.
- Graphical plotting can also be “standardized” for the specific type of plots.
- Professional service:
- The complete TCAD database builds in the dedicated modeling expertise and the state-of-the-art models and parameters.
- Even for a non-calibrated TCAD database, the user can roughly know what to expect.
- The compact models can be very useful and efficient design aids for the user.
- All these development/services can be applied to the notion of internet-based TCAD.
Potential impact
- A guide to technology developers.
- A bridge between the wafer fab and the design house.
- A dynamic solution to the future technologies and design methodologies.
