Abstract

We have developed a Java-based novel system called NILE, which is tolerable for practical use and working on a distributed environment for semiconductor process and device simulations. NILE enables the utilization of simulation in practical use from remote sites even if the network bandwidth is narrow. NILE has succeeded in providing the same kind of simulation environment regardless of the kinds of platforms. Furthermore, NILE enables developing devices for USLI much more efficiently using the central servers
