Process Simulation vs. Process Emulation: is SEMulator3D really TCAD?
April 2, 2011
We are pleased to announce that the 2011 version of Semulator3D is now available to customers. The production proven tool, used by some of the world’s leading IC and MEMS manufacturers, such as IBM, Imec and Infineon, offers a host of new features that improve productivity and team collaboration for modeling new manufacturing processes. Plus, the new version delivers a significant boost in performance thanks to optimized algorithms that speed modeling of the most compute-intensive tasks.
Highlights include
3X performance increase in model building time
New mesh generation capabilities for more accurate simulations
New SEMulator3D Reader for improved model sharing and team communications
SEMulator3D 2011Reducing the number of wafer spins can save your company millions in actual costs, plus shave weeks off your development cycles. By using the efficiency and accuracy of virtual fabrication, you can have a significant impact on the success of your next IC or MEMS device.
If you are involved in process development for semiconductors or MEMS, you’ll want to see for yourself the benefits that customers like IMEC and Infineon are already getting from SEMulator3D’s virtual fabrication capabilities. If you are not already a customer, send us an email and we will arrange for a demonstration.
If you are an existing SEMulator3D customer, you will need a new SEMulator3D+ license file to run SEMulator3D 2011. Within the next 5-7 business days you will receive a new license file by e-mail. If you do not receive it, please send an email to license@coventor.com with your name, company name, phone number.
SEMulator3D 2011 can be downloaded from our software download center, click here. Please use your login and password to access the files. If you do not have a login or forgot your password, please contact license@coventor.com.
