The Simulation Standard, Silvaco’s technical journal for semiconductor process and device engineers is beginning its 30th year of publication. The latest issue has just been released and it outlines a complete power device design flow using the Victory suite of TCAD simulation solutions – Victory Process, Victory Mesh, and Victory Device. Below is an introduction to the Victory TCAD Suite article and a link the complete text which is 20 pages in length. Also in the latest issues are two Hints, Tips & Solutions articles: the first discusses handling different units in the Victory Process Material statement, and the second on “How do I Load, Remesh, and Refine an Existing Device Structure in Victory Mesh?” Click on the link to take you to the Simulation Standard article that presents all the details.
The Victory TCAD Suite
Silvaco TCAD has been used by Tier 1 power device manufactures and designers for decades. Victory Process, Victory Mesh, and Victory Device are a suite of tools that provide the functionality and flexibility that meet the needs of designers. In this article, we look at how some of the features of this suite improve the efficiency of the design flow. We go through, in detail, all the steps need to run the process, re-mesh, device, and MixedMode simulation of a trench-gated vertical IGBT.
