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 />
