Automate And Speed Up TCAD Calibration With Expert Modules And ML Calibration Accelerator

The article discusses the importance of automating and speeding up TCAD calibration in semiconductor manufacturing using expert modules and machine learning (ML) calibration accelerators. It highlights the challenges in semiconductor development due to increased complexity and the need for efficiency. TCAD calibration involves tuning physical model parameters to match simulated results with real device data. Synopsys offers solutions like Sentaurus Calibration Workbench (SCW) with expert calibration modules and the Sentaurus ML Calibration Accelerator to accelerate the calibration workflow by over 5X. ML enhancements in SCW allow users to create their own modules and workflows, improving TCAD accuracy and reducing calibration time.
