check if and how big is mechanical displacement observed<br />

within the device for particular modes of the device fixing.<br />

Fix<br />

Applied boundary conditions have been the same as for high<br />

power mode. Analysis of displacement simulation results (see<br />

Fig. 6) lead to a following major conclusion: displacement and<br />

mechanical stress distribution are much lower if there are more<br />

fixed points applied inside the device.<br />

III. CONCLUSIONS<br />

Semiconductor devices are sensitive to the mechanical stress<br />

(Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3). As it is dependent on the device<br />

temperature additional simulations it should be performed<br />

whether device will operate or fail due to the direct temperature<br />

parameters variation or indirect dependence accompanied by<br />

mechanical stress (Fig. 2). The complete design, verification,<br />

fabrication circle has been elaborated and is still under<br />

development. Several software loop components are still under<br />

research, development or testing. Finally it should improve the<br />

device fabrication field affected by deterministic and non<br />

deterministic environmental factors. One of deterministic is<br />

mechanical stress dependent on the device temperature.<br />

Complex multi domain simulation technique is a must for<br />

contemporary electronic design.<br />
