Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) software tools are jumping over 
hurdles towards greater use in semiconductor manufacturing.  Development 
of process simulation software such as SUPREM and PISCES has reduced some 
of the physical experimentation used to characterize and improve processes 
in the fab due to its cost-saving nature.

Is there any TCAD process simulation software available and being 
applied in today's printed circuit industry ?
