Why Monte Carlo analysis?
Simulate small variations to see how they affect device performance.
Predict differences between theoretical expectations and real-life behavior.
Estimate manufacturing yield using pass/fail criteria.
Bridge the gap between simulation results and actual device performance.
How Monte Carlo analysis works

Select the key design variables and assign statistical distributions to represent real-world manufacturing or material variations.

With custom Python scripting feature, set up specialized analyses. Modify existing scripts to add custom functionality, such as randomizing dimensions.

Simulate each design and measure performance using pass/fail criteria.
