Popis: In this paper, we report on the recent advances in building an integrated environment for the design and simulation of microsystems based on commercially available CAD tools. The environment allows a continuous design flow from front-end to back-end for both monolithic and hybrid microsystems. Based on the FEM simulation results in a pre-design phase, simulation models of available standard components are developed in a system level and coupled to layout generators. A multi-level, mixed-mode, multi-technology simulation is ensured and a schematic driven layout is generated. Tools for anisotropic etching simulation are integrated in order to predict the etching procedure of full-custom microstructures.
