Simulation Based Optimization Environment and It's Application to Semiconductor Devices
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a versatile simulation based optimization environment. Arbitrary simulators can be integrated into this environment like in our case for Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) applications. The optimizer module is integrated in a simulation environment which performs job farming and load balancing and also extracts results from simulation data. In an example we present a doping profile optimization of an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The target function of the optimization is a function of the electrical properties of the transistor and the space of the free parameters is spanned by several coefficients of an analyticaly specified two-dimensional doping profile.
