4.3.1.1 Post Processing

After the topography simulation has completed, a polygonal representation of the modified simulation domain has to be generated. The post processing algorithm aims at taking over unchanged elements from the original Wafer, thereby restricting conversion errors between cellular and polygonal representations to the modified area.

In order to reduce the huge number of resulting triangles4.3 and also to improve the quality of the triangulated etch front two post processing algorithms are applied.
