Abstract EN
Very-Large-Scale-Integration (VLSI) Integrated-Circuit (IC) designs have steadily grown in their capacity and complexity through the years.
The need for technology simulations using technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) tools have become an essential part of design success.
The TCAD simulations facilitate process optimization, highlight device performance tradeoffs, enable worst case analysis, and reveal device defects and weakness.
Microelectronics higher education in African universities focuses mainly on the chip/circuit design instruction.
Virtually little or no emphasis is applied to grow students TCAD simulation skills.
This paper discusses the potential of African educational institutes of becoming the supplier of qualified TCAD simulation engineers for future African IC industry and/or worldwide VLSI job market.
The African universities are encouraged to emphasize on establishing frameworks that would include TCAD simulation research and development into their curriculums and motivate students to venture the VLSI design and automation fields.
This would enable African graduates to exploit the microelectronics job market worldwide and establish TCAD industries within Africa to industrialize African job market.
