Victory DoE
Victory Design of Experiments
Overview

Victory DoE is a UI driven software solution to automate TCAD simulation projects, run experiments and perform dataanalysis. It is designed to be compatible with Silvaco’s DeckBuild environment, in which users have full control of simulation
decks editing, debugging and visualization. Victory DoE also delivers cutting-edge DoE algorithms that boost simulation
effectiveness.

Key Features

Dashboard View

• Simulation deck(s) in Victory DoE are compatible withDeckBuild• Users can take advantage of the flexibility ofDeckBuild combined with the DOE capabilities ofVictory DoE• Simulation projects are UI driven• Intuitive user interface enables easy navigation
between projects• Various sorting methods of simulation projects areprovided such as sorting by flag, time, comment, filesize, etc., helping to organize multiple projects• Single Victory DoE tool manages multiple projects atthe same time
• Simulation results are stored in Silvaco proprietary
format as well as csv format• Full integration with Victory Visual– Silvaco’s TCAD
results visualization tool
• Supports real time structure visualization function
during the simulation• Built-in data visualization tool (Chart Designer) for
reviewing DOE results• Supports LSF (Load Sharing Facility)• Controls simulation progress, structure visualization,
debug, and add / delete simulation conditions• Monitors the simulation progress by reviewing output
and structure files• Displays simulation time for all nodes. Displays
maximum memory usage and maximum number ofnodes during simulation• Enables addition and deletion of simulation conditions• Modification of the “golden-deck” and re-run of the projectSimulation Project Workspace• Manages simulation projects, which are organized likedirectory structures• Supports multiple workspaces• For each project, users can assign a flag and attach comments• All essential file management tools are provided: copy(clean), paste, archive, clean project, lock, etc.
• Allows users to perform search and sort based on thefile name, time, flag, file size, …etc.
• Shared workspace enables a collaborative workflow inwhich multiple users share projects• Simulation examples are available through default
example workspaces

Golden-deck and DOE Table• Deck / Split View to construct a simulation project byassigning the Golden-deck with as supplemental file
• Define DOE input variables and create DOE tables• Drop-zone for managing the deck and supplemental files• Any set commands in the Golden-deck can be DOE inputs• Simulation version and number of threads areautomatically assigned as split variables• Users have the option to lock the simulation version
per project• DOE tables can be created manually or automaticallyusing the DOE builder

Simulation Version Control

1. Skeleton with multiple modules• Inspired by the conventional software development
flow in which a project is comprised of multiple
modules. Each module can run independently so thatit can be plugged into other projects• The goal of the skeleton-deck is to build a deck usingmodules• Splits are performed on modules• Modules can be processing recipes or device
characterization (IVs, CVs)
• Ideal for collaborative work environment (norequirement of “deep” TCAD simulation knowledge)
2. Switch function with superset golden-deck• This flow is coming from the requirement thatengineers want to have a single superset golden-deckand use only a portion of the flow. Examples may
include a conventional CMOS project having NFET,PFET, Vtlin, Vtsat, breakdown, leakage, CV curves, etc.
This method is advantageous in keeping the goldendeck golden• Victory DoE offers a switch function with which users
run a portion of the golden-deck more efficiently• Victory DoE provides straightforward management ofsimulator versions• All Silvaco simulation tool versions are displayed in asimple table format• Ability to lock the simulation tool version for eachproject
