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 ? Nora Xiao Tektronix, Inc. [log in to unmask]
