DeckBuild, Victory Visual, and Victory DoE

Interactive Tools are a suite of applications that provide interactive GUI-based pre and post processing services to Silvaco’s TCAD simulators. The tools within the interactive tools suite are fully integrated and provide users with a comfortable environment within which all TCAD simulations can be performed.

Benefits

Easy to use interface to all Silvaco TCAD Simulation solutions
Debug and visualization of TCAD simulation code, easy access to help, quick launch of results
Customization of runtime scripting including variables, loops, if/else statements and file control commands

Applications

Advanced CMOS and Bulk CMOS, PDSOI, FDSOI, FinFET
Power, RF, BCD, Power Diode, IGBT, Thyristor, GaN HEMT, SiC DMOS, SiC LMOS, etc
Display and Amorphous- plus Poly-Si TFT, IGZO TFT, LED, OLED, MicroLED
Optoelectronics and CCD, CMOS Image Sensor, Avalanche Photodiode, PiN Photodiode, Solar Cell

Overview

DeckBuild allows users to build, debug, and run all Silvaco TCAD solutions
Victory Visual enables interactive visualization of TCAD results
Victory DoE expands the user’s ability to maximize TCAD simulation throughput
- Generate design-of-experiments to make any TCAD input a variable in a multi-variable experiment

TCAD Run-Time Environment

DeckBuild is an interactive, GUI-driven development and debugging of simulation decks
Streamline simulation flows by integrating all Silvaco simulators and TCAD visualization tools into one GUI
Powerful extraction language capable of measuring process and device parameters like thicknesses or voltages and to create all forms of 1D curves (IdVd / IdVg.)
Automated visualization of simulation created structures and extracted curves
Powerful post-processing engine, which allows the production of PDF reports and movies of simulation progress
Integrated Python-3 module to support advanced simulator control and extract mechanisms, and to implement custom GUI components
Powerful simulation flow editor allowing to combine individual simulation decks into complex hierarchical flow

Results Visualization

Victory Visual enable visualization of all outputted TCAD results
Rotation and zooming by intuitive mouse actions
Point and click probing of points within the 3D structure
Plot surface contours and isosurfaces for any simulated variable
Cut-plane tool for creating 2D slices
Supports all common 1D and 2D data views including: 1D x-y data, 2D contour data, 2D meshed data, smith charts and polar charts
Integrated suite of probes, rulers, and other measurement tools allows detailed analysis of 1D and 2D structures
Animated markers allow quick visualization of vector quantities within devices
Function and macro editor allows complex functions and macros to be defined that can be visualized as normal 1D quantities, enabling calculation of M-plots for OLED devices
