Abstract :
This paper presents a technology computer-aided design (TCAD) organization as a core business function of the semiconductor foundry companies. Such an organization is crucial to support customer-specific IC manufacturing technology in a rapid and cost-effective manner. The potential benefits of the proposed organization in realizing the full capabilities of TCAD for dedicated foundries are discussed
