Abstract
This paper highlights the emerging need for selective integration of physical-model based TCAD modeling and simulation tools that have been mostly applied to technology development with ECAD tools that have been traditionally used for product design. The emerging technology trends that lead to this paradigm shift are highlighted. The architecture and requirements of integrated TCAD-ECAD solutions are also discussed along with the infrastructure required to successfully meet this challenge.
