TCAD Education at Stanford

Numerous activities have promoted the use of Technology CAD to further the goals of educating the Engineering student. Among some of the TCAD initiatives are:

• Coursework

  • Courses such as EE212 and EE316 use Pisces and Suprem to instruct students in the dynamics of process and device simulation.

• Books

  • Technology CAD--Computer Simulation of IC Processes and Devices by Robert Dutton and Zhiping Yu
  • TCAD Programs by Giovanni DeMicheli

• Course-ware

  • Animated Simulation of Semiconductor Electronics Devices for Classroom Demonstration

• Special Programs

  • CIS Student-Partner Information Exchange Program (SPIE) is a program developed in 1993 to allow Electrical Engineering Ph.D. students within 1-2 years of graduation get much needed visibility in industry by visiting partner company sites, giving technical presentations, touring the facilities, and interacting in areas of mutual interest with industrial colleagues.
