A PIF Implementation for TCAD Purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of the Profile Interchange Format (PIF) for Technology CAD (TCAD) purposes is demonstrated. An application program interface for use with process and device simulation tools coded in FORTRAN, C and LISP is presented, capable of performing convenient, fast and flexible access to an extendable binary data format which fulfills todays and future needs for physical and logical TCAD information exchange.

Implementation of an Automated Interface for Integration of Tcad with Semiconductor Fabrication
The structure and systematics of automated transfer of semiconductor fabrication process data into a Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) framework are described in detail. The main stages of semiconductor fabrication from design to the final product are identified and outlined. Based on this system the TCAD framework is mirrored to reflect the functionality and behavior of the fabrication s...
متن کاملSemiconductor wafer representation for TCAD
This paper describes the Semiconductor Wafer Representation (SWR) for representing and manipulating wafer state during process and device simulation. The goal of the SWR is to provide an object-oriented interface to a collection of functions designed for developing and integrating Technology CAD (TCAD) applications. By providing functions which can be common across many applications, we aim to ...
متن کاملPreImplantation factor (PIF) protects cultured embryos against oxidative stress: relevance for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) therapy
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects 2-3% of couples. Despite a detailed work-up, the etiology is frequently undefined, leading to non-targeted therapy. Viable embryos and placentae express PreImplantation Factor (PIF). Maternal circulating PIF regulates systemic immunity and reduces circulating natural killer cells cytotoxicity in RPL patients. PIF promotes singly cultured embryos' developme...
متن کاملInsight into PreImplantation Factor (PIF*) Mechanism for Embryo Protection and Development: Target Oxidative Stress and Protein Misfolding (PDI and HSP) through Essential RIPK Binding Site
BACKGROUND Endogenous PIF, upon which embryo development is dependent, is secreted only by viable mammalian embryos, and absent in non-viable ones. Synthetic PIF (sPIF) administration promotes singly cultured embryos development and protects against their demise caused by embryo-toxic serum. To identify and characterize critical sPIF-embryo protein interactions novel biochemical and bio-analyti...
متن کاملPreImplantation factor (PIF) detection in maternal circulation in early pregnancy correlates with live birth (bovine model)
BACKGROUND Early identification of viable pregnancy is paramount for successful reproduction. Detection of specific signals from pre-implantation viable embryos in normal pregnancy circulation would indicate initiation of embryo-maternal interaction and create a continuum to accurately reflect embryo/fetal well-being post-implantation. Viable mammalian embryos secrete PreImplantation Factor (PI...
