Abstract We present results on the development of an anisotropic crystalline etching simulation (ACES) program based on a new continuous Cellular Automata (CA) model, which provides improved spatial resolution and accuracy compared with the conventional and the stochastic CA \mbox{methods}. Implementation of a dynamic CA technique provides increased simulation speed and reduced memory requirement (5x). A first ACES software based on common personal computer platforms has been realized. Simulated results of etching match well with experiments. We have developed a new methodology to obtain the etch-rate diagram of anisotropic etching efficiently using both experimental and numerical More >
