Abstract: Today, nearly every aspect of an integrated circuit is designed using electronic design automation (EDA) software. Technology computer aided design (TCAD) tools are used for modeling front-end-of-line manufacturing, including the fabrication (Process TCAD) and electrical characterization (Device TCAD) of individual transistors. These tools have been utilized over the last six decades to help realize Moore’s law scaling – the driver behind the exponential increase in transistor density – alleviating the high cost of expensive fabrication experiments. The development of each logic node has, in turn, driven the development of the TCAD tools to account for new fabrication and manufacturing techniques.
