To understand the effectiveness of these online simulation
experiments (especially the SPICE parameter extraction part)
towards students' learning was to examine what motivated the
students to take the online TCAD laboratory course and to
assess their interest in receiving services online. The impact of
the proposed teaching method on the learning process was
investigated by analyzing the data collected through a online
survey designed specifically for this study. In our study,
student's grades were also monitored to evaluate their
academic performance. Our evaluation showed that the use of
online simulation experiments available in the TCAD
laboratory was beneficial for the students. The authors believe
that the improved students' academic performance and their
positive attitude towards the course are mainly due to the
integration of simulation tools in microelectronics teaching.
