培训方式以讲课和实验穿插进行

Overview
SENTAURUS WORKBENCH: The class covers the basics of this framework tool that allows organization of parameterized TCAD simulations in a single project with many possible splits, or branches.

SENTAURUS PROCESS: Users will learn the specifics of this process simulation tool, in terms of syntax and introduction of various models to simulate fabrication process flows.

SENTAURUS STRUCTURE EDITOR: The class will show you how to create 2D and 3D device structures, import structures from a prior process simulation step, make boundary simplifications and properly mesh structures for any subsequent device simulations.

SENTAURUS DEVICE: The class covers the basics how to simulate the electrical characteristics of devices created with SENTAURUS PROCESS and/or SENTAURUS STRUCTURE EDITOR.

SENTAURUS VISUAL & INSPECT: Users will be taught how to visualize the structures and results generated from the process and device simulations, using these tools.
