Interactive Tools
DeckBuild and Victory VisualOverview

TCAD Interactive Tools are a suite of applications that provide interactive GUI-based pre and post processing services toSilvaco’s TCAD simulators.

TCAD Input Deck and Runtime
Environment
DeckBuild is Silvaco’s state of the art GUI platform used
for all TCAD related tasks. It is an easy to use, intuitive
front end supporting all of Silvaco’s simulators and tools.
DeckBuild has numerous simulator-specific and general
debugger style tools, such as powerful extract statements,
GUI-based process file input, line-by-line runtime
execution, and intuitive error messages. It contains anextensive library of example decks which cover a wide
range of technologies and materials, and rapidly allow
the user to become highly productive in TCAD.

Key Features• Interactive, GUI-driven development and debugging
of simulation decks• Streamline simulation flows by integrating all Silvaco
simulators and TCAD visualization tools into one GUI• Powerful extraction language capable of measuring
process and device parameters like thicknesses orvoltages and to create all forms of 1D curves (IdVd /IdVg.)• Automated visualization of simulation createdstructures• Monitor simulation progress by browsing thestructures and output created by each process step
• Includes hundreds of TCAD simulation examples thatare categorized and indexed for quick retrieval• Fully integrated queuing system allows to loadbalance simulation jobs on Oracle Grid Engine, LSF or
the Silvaco built-in queue• Integrated optimization engine to handle calibrationand optimization tasks• Supported on Linux and Windows (including virtualmachines)

TCAD Visualization

Victory Visual is a powerful visualization tool for displaying
1D, 2D and 3D data generated by Silvaco’s TCAD tools.
Designed for intuitive interaction, Victory Visual’s vivid
visualization modes support tetrahedral structures,atoms, contours, isosurfaces, rays and vectors. It provides
many TCAD specific visualization functions, such as
1D cut lines & 2D cut planes from 2D & 3D structures
respectively, probes, rulers and other measurement
tools, integration of 1D data files and fully customizable
TCAD specific colors and styles.

Key Features• Rotation and zooming by intuitive mouse actions• Point and click probing of points within the structure• Plot surface contours and isosurfaces for any
simulated variable• Cut-line/plane for creating 1D/2D slices• Supports all common 1D and 2D data
• Integrated suite of probes, rulers, and othermeasurement tools allows detailed analysis of 1D and2D structures• Function and macro editor allows complex functions
and macros to be defined.
• Comprehensive set file system to facilitate sharing ofcustom visualization presets and examples• Tool suite for displaying Victory Atomistic data. Local
density of state meshing, meshing of atomistic files forcontour and volume visualization with the use of cut
planes• Intuitive and data agnostic overlay system to compare
files• Automatic reloading of file while preserving thecurrent view
• Direct integration with DeckBuild• Auto axis selection on plotting of .log files• Load multiple files to be stacked in a slideshow• High resolution screenshots• Victory Mesh integration• Supports range of complementary file types (.lay, .gds,.h5, .3mf, .stl etc)
