Paragraph 3D Equipment, Assemblies and Components
Software
Software specially designed for the development or production of goods specified in head b. of entry 3A001 to head h. of entry 3A002 or Sub-category 3B.
Software specially designed for the use of stored programme controlled equipment specified in sub-category 3B.
Computer-aided-design (CAD) software for semiconductor devices or integrated circuits, having any of the following:
Design rules or circuit verification rules;
Simulation of the physically laid out circuits; or
Lithographic processing simulators for design.
-
Note: A lithographic processing simulator is a software package used in the design phase to define the sequence of lithographic, etching and deposition steps for translating masking patterns into specific topographical patterns in conductors, dielectrics or semiconductor material.
-
Note: This entry does not specify software specially designed for schematic entry, logic simulation, placing and routing, layout verification or pattern generation tape.
-
N.B.: Libraries, design attributes or associated data for the design of semiconductor devices or integrated circuits are considered as technology.
-
Software specially designed for the use of goods specified in head b. of entry 3A101.
