Abstract
Process and device simulators turned out to be important tools in the design of high-voltage integrated circuits and in the development of their technology. The main goal of this project was the improvement of the device simulator WIAS-TeSCA in order to simulate different power devices in high-voltage integrated circuits developed by the industrial partner. Some simulation results are presented. Furthermore, we discuss some aspects of the mathematics of relevant model equations which device and process simulations are based on.
