Synopsys Sentaurus v2024.3

Synopsys Sentaurus v2024.3 serves as a core tool for semiconductor process development and device optimization through high-precision physical models and multi-dimensional simulation capabilities. It excels in addressing manufacturability challenges of nanoscale devices. Its modular design covers the entire workflow from process to device, though note its operational constraints (Linux-only environment) and steep learning curve. For Fab process engineers or device researchers, it is a key technology enabling "virtual fabrication" and significantly reducing R&D cycles.
