Command Conventions

Some basic ideas on how commands work and are used.

Grid Commands

Commands to control grid generation and refinement.

  • fs creating and control of new fieldservers - expert use only!
  • line - Controls placement of gridlines for rectilinear meshes
  • region - Allows rectangular materials to be created
  • init - Initializes the grid structure from rectangular commands or a saved file
  • struct - Allows the grid and solution values to be saved or read from a file
  • Smooth - smooths the grid and attempts to make equilaterial elements
  • grid - access to many grid information / manipulation actions

Post Processing Commands

Commands to analyze data.

Most common post processing commands:

Alagator

Alagator Starting Place and Tutorial

Alagator is the scripting language that was developed as a way for FLOOXS users to easily control the physics in their simulations. This is where the real power of FLOOXS lies. These commands allow the user to easily set up a set of common process or semiconductor device equations. For example, the scripting language has multiple components that are called during the execution of a diffusion command. The basic element is a description of a differential equation.

Alagator Commands

  • pdb These control the access and values in the parameter database.
  • mater Control the materials and their names
  • solution Create and control solutions

Application Specific Commands

Commands to solve systems of equations, deposit materials, and more!

Process Commands

  • deposit The deposit command allows new material to be deposited on the wafer surface. This command is all new for the 2002 release.
  • diffuse Simulate all types of thermal steps, including anneals, oxidations, and silicidations.
  • rta This is a simplified interface to the diffuse command and temperature ramps for rta anneals.
  • etch This command is used with a specific etch to evolve the surface according to the type of etching specified.
  • furnace This is a simplified interface to the diffuse command for furnace anneals.
  • implant Implant a dopant and add it to the existing distributions.
  • mask This command is used to create a mask. It can be used subsequently with an implant or etch command..
  • strip This command removes a specified surface material in its entirety.

Device Commands

  • contact This command allows contacts to be added to an existing structure. It can also be used to fetch contact information - like current.
  • device This is the main simulation command and supports DC, AC, and noise analysis.

Other Commands

Miscellaneous commands that aren't really categorizable. There are many useful commands here!

  • profile This allows the reading in of a one-dimensional profile
  • math Controls the numerical analysis options - not for the faint hearted
