Using a genetic algorithm for exploring a semiconductor fabrication model

Initial iterations or generations of this particular Genetic Algorithm (GA) implementation for optimizing a semiconductor fabrication process, not only search for an optimal solution, but also, with the aid of a visual tool, help understanding the complex characteristics of the model. Finally, thanks to this visual analysis, some adjustments are proposed to the algorithm execution in order to drive the search more effectively, as explained using a reference TCAD simulation-based example.
