Object oriented approach to the technology processes simulation of devices and ICs used in telecom applications

In this paper, the methodology for object oriented (OO) projection of the software architecture is introduced and an object model of a conventional semiconductor device is described from its fabrication technology point of view. Also, the development of the standard Windows 95/NT application by using Visual BASIC 6.0 and OO programming concepts is presented. The application is intended to be a technology process editor and simulator based on multiparticle diffusion simulation by an adaptive multigrid method. In order to illustrate exploitation of the simulator in use, a processing example of a NMOS silicon gate is shown.
