IntelliSense Ships Major New Version of IntelliSuite, Introduces Clean Room(TM)

BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Today IntelliSense announced a major new version of its
market-leading software for the MEMS industry, IntelliSuite v8.5.
IntelliSuite v8.5 includes upgrades to almost every module of
IntelliSuite and introduces several groundbreaking industry-first
features.

"Every corner of IntelliSuite has been updated, revamped, or given
a fresh new look," said Sandeep Akkaraju, CEO of IntelliSense. "You
will see performance, stability and interface improvements across the
board. From a fresh pixel-perfect look to blinding speed improvements
to brand-new functionality, this is the best version of IntelliSuite
yet."

"In addition to the latest version of IntelliSuite, we are
launching Clean Room, a new product line focused on process simulation
and optimization," said Akkaraju. "Clean Room provides an architecture
to integrate process-specific simulators into a detailed process flow.
We are also introducing two new process simulators: a 3D DRIE/ICP etch
simulator to simulate deep silicon etching, and an atomistic
simulation-based etch simulator for accurately simulating wet and dry
etches."

Some of the new features in the Clean Room(TM) package include:

IntelliFab(TM)/FabViewer(TM)

IntelliSense's new process visualization tool creates
photo-realistic renditions of even the most complex MEMS devices and
process flows. The dynamic cross-sectioning feature makes it easy to
debug a process or perform a failure analysis. Models created from the
process flow can be automatically meshed and exported to analysis
engines with one click.

RECIPE 3D(TM)

The world's only RIE/ICP etch simulator can now perform 3-D
simulations of isotropic, RIE, and ICP/Bosch etching, or any
combination of the three processes. RECIPE makes it easy to predict
important parameters such as etch lag or sidewall angles.

IntelliEtch(TM)

This new module has the power to simulate wet and dry etching at
the atomistic level. IntelliEtch can simulate etching of high-order
planes and non-flat substrates, as well as the effects of
multi-masking or multiple process steps. After etch simulation, models
can be directly exported to IntelliSuite for finite element analysis.

Clean Room(TM) also includes AnisE(TM), the industry's first
anisotropic etch simulator, MEMaterial(TM), the most comprehensive
thin-film material database on the market, and IntelliMask(TM), a
layout editor specifically designed for MEMS.

Some of the new features in IntelliSuite v8.5 include:

-- SYNPLE(TM) - the first schematic editor designed for MEMS now
includes bus-based auto-wiring and can create 3D animations of
system simulations

-- New, robust automeshing engine that transforms masks to meshes
with one click

-- Capability to simulate advanced fluid-structure interaction in
3D

-- Multi-valent, pH-dependant reaction simulations in the
Microfluidics module
