In this special 2011 IEDM edition of TCAD News, we present two articles which are highly relevant to advanced logic and memory technologies. The first article discusses a recently developed Impedance Field Methodology (IFM) for analyzing the impact of random variability on device performance. The second article covers the 3-D simulation of FinFET devices, including the analysis of doping and stress proximity effects.
