Virtual Component Qualification

Pecht M., Sandborn P., McCluskey F.P., University of Maryland, US

One of the most time consuming activities in new product development is associated with reliability assessment and qualification. This is defined as a process to verify whether the anticipated reliability is indeed achieved under actual [...]

Living in an Expanding TCAD Space

Borucki L.J., Motorola, Inc., US

A substantial number of important industrial modeling and simulation problems lie outside of the scope of commercial TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) software.The tools needed to solve such problems include a good PDE (Partial Differential Equation) [...]

Fast Algorithms For 3-D Simulation

White J.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

One difficulty associated with computer simulation of micromachined devices is that the devices are typically geometrically complicated and innately three-dimensional. For this reason, attempts to exploit existing finite-element based tools for micromachined device simulation has [...]
