This work has been carried out as part of the VISTA
project
[HFF
93] [FTS94] [HPR95]
and continues a series of doctoral theses on the VISTA framework's
architecture [Hal94],
on its data level [Fas94] [Rie96],
and on its application to CMOS process optimization tasks [Pim93].
CASE tools, system libraries, and the LISP interpreter used in
VISTA are treated in [Tup96].
Examples of process simulators developed in the VISTA project
can be found in
[Str94] and [Puc96].
A graphical editor for defining semiconductor devices in two and three
dimensions is described in [Rie96].
