Here are some brief instructions to get started.

 

1. check out the Stanford University website to access Suprem

model examples and for gaining practice/experience with the code. 

Stanford Univ. Website:   http://www-tcad.stanford.edu

A full version of the Suprem operators manual resides at this website under the

hotbuttons, "TOOLS" then "SUPREM3."

This is a big file so avoid printing it out.

 

2.  log on to the eecis UNIX computers

 

3.   to access SUPREM4, go to the directory:  /usr/local/suprem/rel.9130

 

4.  at the prompt, type,   "suprem"

 

5.  copy the TEXT exactly as shown in the examples below and paste it in

front of the "SUPREM4" prompt.  Note that the SUPREM prompt will return after each line.

Continue entering line by line.

The Suprem code will begin calculating instantly.  (Hint: when finished, exit by typing “quit” )

 

#x dimension

line x loc=0.0 spacing=0.2  tag=left

line x loc=1.0 spacing=0.05

line x loc=2.0 spacing=0.2 tag=right

#y dimension

line y loc=1.0 tag=bottom

#suprem iv default coefficients

#Comment  Pad Oxidation.

Check the final oxide thickness and Si consumed thickness

with the values in the plots from the Stanford website.  To do

this you will have to go to the "TOOLS" hotbutton then the "SUPREM IV GS"

hotbutton.  The choose the "EXAMPLES" hotbutton, and pick examples such as:

 18, "CIS BiCMOS LOCOS Simulation."

Compare your SUPREM values with values from tables in the text.
