The National Research Institute Semiconductor Center is about to start a business with Synopsys today, introducing Sentaurus TCAD and ATK simulation tools, providing free use by Taiwan academia, and a semiconductor manufacturing process research environment that synchronizes Taiwan’s academic network and industry to accelerate Develop the next generation of key semiconductor manufacturing process technology and excellent talents.

Taiwan’s candlelight status in the semiconductor field, Taiwan’s research and advancement to form a new century semiconductor must be clearly portrayed along the way, with the joint efforts of production, government and research, and the development of nanoscale and even Angstroms (Angstroms, or Angstroms) with advanced thinking. 10 nanometers). The size of the process is reduced and the process technology will be reduced in the next hundred years. Due to the high cost of advanced semiconductor process research and material, the software simulation research plan was used to fatally reduce it in advance, and there is an inevitable trend. Before the actual production of components, the process characteristics should be improved through repetitive parameter adjustments, so that the experimental cost can be repaired. Accelerate the research and optimization of the manufacturing process.
The National Research Institute Semiconductor Center cooperated with Synopsys to introduce Sentaurus TCAD and quantum ATK simulation tools to create a new generation of semiconductor process cooperative research environment, and provide advanced semiconductor material analysis and characteristic simulation, component simulation and development, process research and other required models And tools, providing complete model simulation software tools to accelerate research on semiconductor components and processes.

Ye Wenguan, director of the National Research Institute Semiconductor Center, said that electronic products have a wide range of applications, and semiconductor process technology has also increased complexity. New cell biomaterials must be constantly updated. However, the difficulty of technology development is becoming more and more difficult, and the process has become a considerable obstacle for the industry. .
Ye Wenguan accused that in order to reduce the research simulation plan, CAD research and manufacturing has become a trend. The industry-academic research group can understand the characteristics of newly developed components through TCAD simulation results before actual experimental production, and can also design the direction of component planting characteristics to meet market needs.
Li Mingzhe, general manager of Synopsys Taiwan, said that Synopsys has a long-term and core relationship with the National Research Institute Semiconductor Center. Especially in the past two years, it has helped the semiconductor cooperation center to develop an "artificial intelligence system design and verification platform" for supply. Academia research and development of artificial intelligence, Sentaurus TCAD design technology seminar is held in March a year, so that industry, academia and research can have an in-depth understanding of advanced process related courses.
Li Mingzhe, in order to respond to the challenges of the new generation of semiconductor technology and design, the New Technology and Semiconductor Center developed advanced design tools with Sentaurus TCAD Quantum ATK simulation tools based on the cooperation of applications, and provided them for free use by the Taiwanese academic community, hoping to purely design Taiwan to upgrade Academia has practical experience in advanced process tools, high-level semiconductor manufacturing and design talents.
