simulates lithography outcomes in nanoseconds
You model physical device behavior and refine process splits. Soon, neural networks will iterate designs without a PhD.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit when a physical model ignores a messy real-world material limit.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
Your lab reports and research logs are fed to the model.
Month 4
Automated agents start running your TCAD simulations at scale.
Month 10
Algorithms predict ideal process splits better than your intuition.
Month 18
Neural nets generate mask layouts without human oversight.
Year 2 · D-Day
Your research role is marked as solved and archived.
