  • Abstract
    We present a general 3D topography simulator for the simulation of deposition and etching processes. The simulator is called ELSA (enhanced level set applications). ELSA is based on a level set method including narrow banding and a fast marching method. Modules for the transport of species, for surface reaction, and for the level set method are its basis.
