The Virtual Micro-Electronics Laboratory
There are two views of the process which are
presented in the MicroSoftLab environment. The first is the
view representing the physical laboratory instrumentation,
the MicroLabView. The second is the view representing the computational
or theoretical model of the physical process, the MicroPDEView.
The simulation of the computational model need not be separated
from the physical instruments and the physical process that it
represents. The MicroSoftLab view of the physical laboratory
demonstrates that physical experimentation, numerical simulation,
and the teaching of experimental methodology can all coexist within
a single environment. In fact, these various facets of the
physical laboratory view are linked together and interact with
each other in exciting and important new ways.
