Caltech On-line SEGS 3-D isotropic/anisotropic etch simulation
A brief introduction to isotropic/anisotropic
etching
What you need:
- A mask-layout in CIF or GDSII format,
- an etchant choice, or known etch rates,
(preferrably in the .rate file format shown below),
- or xfig (a public domain drawing progam
to input mask shapes and display 2d output)
Optional programs:
- ghostview or other Postscript viewer to
quickly view the simulation results,
- Any Commercial Solid Modeling Package that can accept
IGES files for Rendering and/or Finite Element modeling.
