Information about the random behavior of the IC manufacturing process can be applied for IC and process design tasks. In this paper a methodology for modeling random fluctuations of IC manufacturing process is proposed. A simulator of a complete bipolar manufacturing process called FABRICS, is described. A few applications illustrating advantages of the proposed statistical process modeling method are discussed.
