Title:
SIMULATION APPARATUS AND SIMULATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3877611
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simulation apparatus performing the simulation with regard to grating temperature regardless of grid intervals.
SOLUTION: The simulation apparatus comprises an input section 11, a preparation section 12, a calculation section 13, and an output section 14. A virtual transient region 5 is set at a contact portion between a semiconductor and a metal. The thermal conductivity within the transient region 5 and the power consumption due to the contact resistance within the transient region 5 are calculated to solve the thermal conductance equation by using the calculation result. Therefore, even if the grid intervals which are set at both end surfaces of the transient region 5 change, the grating temperature becomes unvaried. Accordingly, the tolerance of the semiconductor device to heat can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy.
