SIMULATION / SA-DEV-STRESS-001

Source/drain stressor strain, mobility, and deformation-risk replay
Stress Engineering

Replay architecture, channel stressor, stress proxy, and temperature to compare mobility gain, drive-current gain, Vt shift, leakage, and mechanical deformation risk.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Treat stress engineering as a process-to-device handoff, not only a mobility trick.
  • Compare mobility gain with Vt shift, leakage, and mechanical risk before claiming a PPA win.
  • Use FinFET, nanosheet, and CFET-watch categories to keep advanced CMOS architecture honest.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved Stress Engineering rows and does not run a live solver, upload workflow, proprietary model, process recipe, or signoff flow.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Mobility gain follows a saturating stress response with architecture and channel factors.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Drive-current gain applies a stress overhead after mobility improvement.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Mechanical deformation risk rises with stress, architecture sensitivity, and temperature.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No calibrated stress tensor, TCAD solve, process flow, or measured mobility data is included.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

CFET is a watch category, not a process feasibility claim.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The page teaches gain-versus-risk structure, not a source/drain stressor recipe.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

The JSON export stores architecture, stress, temperature, mobility, Vt, leakage, and risk rows.

SA-DEV-STRESS-001

evidence note

The CSV export can become a bridge worksheet between process modules and device PPA.

SA-DEV-STRESS-001

evidence note

The simulation deepens the Advanced Device track beyond geometry and electrostatics.

Source spine

These links anchor the public teaching model. They do not convert the replay into a qualified process recipe or signoff result.

Public execution boundary

No server-side live ngspice execution, uploads, accounts, payments, comments, newsletter signup, or job/event submissions are active on this page.
