SIMULATION / SA-DEV-TCAD-OPT-004

TCAD DOE and surrogate optimization replay
TCAD DOE

A browser CSV replay for reading TCAD-style design-of-experiments, surrogate uncertainty, extrapolation risk, validation posture, and decision gates before treating an optimizer output as evidence.

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
  • Filter device context, design lever, DOE plan, surrogate family, objective priority, and validation posture before reading a pareto-readiness score.
  • Compare mesh stability, calibration anchor strength, sample efficiency, surrogate uncertainty, extrapolation risk, constraint violation, objective fit, and pareto readiness together.
  • Use the decision gate to separate mesh-convergence review, calibration-anchor review, surrogate-uncertainty review, extrapolation guard, constraint review, owner review, bounded teaching candidates, and reference-bounded cases.
  • Keep the public boundary visible: this is not a TCAD deck, calibrated solver result, foundry-node ranking, device qualification, or production optimizer.

BROWSER INTERACTIVE LAB

Filter the saved CSV. Inspect matching replay rows.

No server solver is running here. The browser filters a precomputed table and redraws the plot locally.

Each metric is normalized independently for shape inspection. Vertical positions do not compare magnitude across metrics.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters saved CSV rows. It does not run TCAD, SPICE, process simulation, field solving, optimizer loops, uploaded deck parsing, calibration, device qualification, or server-side models.

METHODS

How the number was made.

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

method

Generate a Cartesian synthetic sweep across device context, design lever, DOE plan, surrogate family, objective priority, and validation posture.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Compute normalized educational proxies for mesh stability, calibration anchor strength, sample efficiency, surrogate uncertainty, extrapolation risk, constraint violation, objective fit, and pareto readiness.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Apply decision gates that route the learner to mesh convergence, calibration, surrogate uncertainty, extrapolation, constraint, owner review, bounded teaching candidate, or reference-bounded states.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Store CSV, typed JSON, model card, source links, and public boundary together with no copied decks, solver code, examples, PDKs, process recipes, measured silicon, or optimizer services.

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 live TCAD, SPICE, process, electrothermal, RF, field-solver, or optimizer execution runs in the browser or on the server.

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

non-claim

No TCAD deck, mesh, structure file, material file, PDK, compact model, process recipe, solver transcript, calibration dataset, measured silicon, or vendor benchmark is copied.

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

non-claim

No device ranking, foundry-node claim, product recommendation, qualification, signoff, or production optimization claim is made.

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

non-claim

Rows are original synthetic teaching proxies and require owned solver decks, mesh convergence, measured I-V/C-V, uncertainty validation, and device-owner review before engineering reuse.

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

CSV replay with 6144 rows and explicit device-context, lever, DOE, surrogate, objective, validation, metric, decision-gate, evidence-state, and next-check fields.

evidence note

Source spine uses official/public solver, DOE, surrogate, and validation pages as outbound anchors only; it does not copy papers, documentation examples, code, decks, figures, measurements, or vendor benchmarks.
