The continued integration of microelectronics with physical systems such as optics, micro-mechanical devices (MEMS), and sensors has produced a need for more sophisticated Computer Aided Design (CAD) and simulation software. Examples of highly integrated systems include: integrated optics; micro-machined mechanical devices integrated with CMOS modules; and integrated sensors consisting of chemical/mechanical/biological sensors. This work addresses two primary challenges for CAD that arise for such systems: One is the need for accurate and fast simulation of tightly coupled systems spanning multiple energy domains. The second is the need for a high degree of system optimization to lower costs in very competitive markets. Commonly, the design of such complex systems is achieved by the partitioning of the system into blocks. These blocks divide the complex system into simpler pieces with well defined interactions so that each piece can be designed and modeled separately. However such approaches have significant limitations. In this grant the applicant intends to pursue the development of a single software infrastructure which will allow for the self-consistent simulation of highly integrated systems. These systems will include electronic circuits, optical systems, thermal coupling, and electromagnetic and mechanical effects. The result of this work will be a novel software tool with radically new simulation capabilities. As this work progresses it is intended that an ongoing cooperation with the Canadian company Optiwave System Inc. (Ottawa) will lead to commercialization of aspects of this work.

微电子与物理系统（如光学、微机械器件（MEMS）和传感器）的持续集成产生了对更复杂的计算机辅助设计（CAD）和仿真软件的需求。高度集成系统的例子包括：集成光学;与CMOS模块集成的微加工机械设备;以及由化学/机械/生物传感器组成的集成传感器。这项工作解决了两个主要的挑战，CAD出现这样的系统：一个是需要准确和快速的模拟跨越多个能源领域的紧耦合系统。第二是需要高度的系统优化，以在竞争激烈的市场中降低成本。通常，这种复杂系统的设计是通过将系统划分为块来实现的。这些模块将复杂的系统划分为具有良好定义的交互的更简单的部分，以便每个部分可以单独设计和建模。然而，这种方法具有显著的局限性。 在这项资助中，申请人打算继续开发一个单一的软件基础设施，该基础设施将允许高度集成系统的自洽模拟。这些系统将包括电子电路，光学系统，热耦合，电磁和机械效应。 这项工作的结果将是一个新的软件工具，具有全新的模拟能力。随着这项工作的进展，打算与加拿大公司Optiwave System Inc.（渥太华）将导致这项工作的某些方面商业化。
