TCAD Sentaurus: Quick Start Workshop

Abstract:

This workshop is a combination of a short presentation and live demos and is designed
to introduce attendees to Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD).
The instructor will begin with an overview of the Sentaurus TCAD tool suite
including Sentaurus Workbench, Sentaurus Visualization,
Sentaurus Structure Editor, Sentaurus Process, and Sentaurus Device.
He will then present demos of two complete example projects:
(i) full 2D simulation of a CMOS flow from process to device simulation and
(ii) 3D FinFET simulation from structure generation and meshing to device simulation.
The session will end with a Q/A period.

This workshop is intended for professors and graduate students in engineering or physics
who are interested in learning what TCAD is. The TCAD tools facilitate
understanding of the principles of operation of semiconductor devices
from fundamental physics laws.
