  • Method for simulating the surface contours of a layer material to be formed over a base structure
    Patent number: 5386374
    Abstract: An improved method for simulating the surface contours of a layer of material to be formed over a base structure using a string algorithm is described. The method of the string algorithm includes the steps of defining old surface points along the base structure, defining a set of possible new surface points, and defining a set of orderly array of points, from the set of new surface points, which define the surface contours of the simulated layer of material formed over the base structure.
