3D001
  • "Software" specially designed for the "development" or "production" of equipment specified in 3A001.b. to 3A002.h. or 3B.

  • 3D002
  • "Software" specially designed for the "use" of equipment specified in 3B001.a. to f., 3B002 or 3A225

  • 3D003
  • ‘Physics-based’ simulation "software" specially designed for the "development" of lithographic, etching or deposition processes for translating masking patterns into specific topographical patterns in conductors, dielectrics or semiconductor materials.

    Technical Note:

    ‘Physics-based’ in 3D003 means using computations to determine a sequence of physical cause and effect events based on physical properties (e.g., temperature, pressure, diffusion constants and semiconductor materials properties).

    Note: Libraries, design attributes or associated data for the design of semiconductor devices or integrated circuits are considered as "technology".

  • 3D004
  • "Software" specially designed for the "development" of equipment specified in 3A003.

  • 3D005
  • "Software" specially designed to restore normal operation of a microcomputer, "microprocessor microcircuit" or "microcomputer microcircuit" within 1 ms after an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) or Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) disruption, without loss of continuation of operation.

  • 3D101
  • "Software" specially designed or modified for the "use" of equipment specified in 3A101.b.

  • 3D225
  • "Software" specially designed to enhance or release the performance of frequency changers or generators to meet the characteristics of 3A225.
