Download or read book Predictive Simulation of Semiconductor Processing written by Jarek Dabrowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictive Simulation of Semiconductor Processing enables researchers and developers to extend the scaling range of semiconductor devices beyond the parameter range of empirical research. It requires a thorough understanding of the basic mechanisms employed in device fabrication, such as diffusion, ion implantation, epitaxy, defect formation and annealing, and contamination. This book presents an in-depth discussion of our current understanding of key processes and identifies areas that require further work in order to achieve the goal of a comprehensive, predictive process simulation tool.
