Summary: Strategic Factors

Demonstrating the impact of the

virtual wafer technology on new

process development, which will

be in the same way as the EDA

that has shaped the micro-

electronic industry.

Technological

Supplementing expensive iterative

experimentation of VLSI technology

development by virtual wafer fabrication

and virtual device characterization.

Economical

Providing a training ground for

professional scientists and

engineers in advanced device

and process technologies and,

in particular, for the engineering

curriculum at NTU and the local

wafer industry in Singapore.

Educational

Providing the most advanced

research topics in deep sub-

micron device physics and

process technology.

Professional

Representing a novel idea of the

Virtual Fab Foundry, which is a

first attempt at bridging the gap

between chip design and chip

fabrication, and the potential

commercial application in ECAD

based on TCAD as well as

professional services.

Commercial

Contributing to the local

wafer fab industry by

collaboration with the

world-leading academia

on industrial-relevant

applications.
