Abstract
This paper gives an outline of the STORM TCAD system. STORM is a program system for the two-dimensional simulation of semiconductor fabrication process sequences and the optimization of the electrical behaviour of the devices fabricated. It has been developed within an ESPRIT project by a consortium of European companies and research institutes. In this presentation, the software structure of STORM is described, followed by a discussion of the physical models developed. Finally, some application examples are given.
