Major Thrust Areas of TCAD research

Both the Thrusts and Themes cover a much broader scope than reflected in this particular directory. However, cross-references to other activities are provided.

Manufacturing Science
This includes many projects, one of which, the TCAD Tool integration and calibration for the Virtual Factory, can be read about here.

Paul Losleben is the primary researcher in this area.

CAD, Circuits and Testing
This is a rather diverse set of projects that include not only synthesis, verification and design aspects but also supporting technologies such as modeling of packages and on-chip testing.

CIS-affiliated faculty support this area.

National Nano-Fabrication
This is an NSF-funded National Center.

Paul Losleben, Jim Plummer, Simon Wong support the N3 project.
