VICTORY STRESS

3D Stress Simulator

VICTORY STRESS is a generic 3D stress simulator designed to calculate stresses and mobility enhancement factors for any 3D structure using comprehensive material stress models, including the dependence of elasticity coefficients on crystal orientation.

Key Features

• Generic 3D anisotropic stress simulation for crystalline silicon
• Stress analysis can be performed over full device structure, accounting for all isotropic and anisotropic properties of the materials, boundaries and initial conditions
• Simulation of thermal mismatch between materials
• Estimate mobility enhancement factors
• Account for intrinsic stress in deposited material layers
• Hydrostatic stress model for capping layers
• “Design of Experiments” with VWF can be used to analyze stress dependence on process parameters such as gate length or thickness variations
