70 120. PlasmaDeposition Process Simulation Plasma deposition process emerged as a technique extensively utilised in the fabrication of cutting-edge electronic devices. This method relied on twomain approaches: chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD). With ongoingminiaturisation of integrated circuitry, advancing technology tomeet the demands of sub-10nm nodes posed a challenge. The project aimed to delve into the intricacies of PVD. Through computer-based simulations, goal was to replicate and analyse the deposition process, meticulously examining the resultant outcomes. By scrutinising various parameters and conditions within the simulated environment, they aspired to gain deeper insights into the intricacies of PVD and its potential applications in the realmof cutting-edge electronic fabrication.

It removes the risk associated with installing interpreters onto user systems as these open up vulnerabilities. Our solution achieves this by having the interpreters for our platformbuilt into the software, making them inaccessible outside of this closed system. Scripts that can be run by the software are also stored in secured directories to ensure that only approved scripts are used. ScriptCtrl provides development teams with a safe and efficient way to provide quality-of-life scripts to business users without compromising security.
