Design of Three-Dimensional Virtual Simulation Experiment Platform for Integrated Circuit Course

Abstract

The integrated circuit (IC) is a subject for which researchers need practical experience, but its experiment cost is high, the risk involved is high, and it is not easy to carry out experiments on a large scale. This paper designs a three-dimensional integrated circuit virtual experiment platform based on Unity3d. The platform uses the Unity3d and 3ds Max tools to build a three-dimensional model of instruments, equipment, electronic components, and ultra cleanroom laboratory scenes in an integrated circuit experiment. In addition, it uses C# script to develop the functions and three-dimensional simulation of general virtual instruments and equipment and deploys the experimental website using the frame of the jspxcms open source website. The experimental platform arranges the three-dimensional web file WebGL file in the cloud. Students can use video and text materials to acquire basic IC knowledge at any time and conduct IC virtual experiments safely, efficiently, and without constraints. At present, the platform has been tested and used in teaching and has received high praise and recognition from students.

Leveraging VR for the Visualization of Non-Observable Electrical Circuits Principles in Engineering Education

“…For instance, the creators of the Three-Dimensional Virtual Simulation Experiment Platform, [1], utilized the Unity 3D engine [2] and Autodesk's 3ds Max to develop a realistic lab environment that imitates integrated circuit manufacturing and testing. Students interacted with this virtual environment via a web-based interface, conducted experiments, and received feedback on their performance.…”

Development of physics learning media "delight physics web" on elasticity and hooke's law to increase student learning motivation

“…One of the goals of using features is to provide a more realistic picture of learning so as to reduce ambiguous and abstract misconceptions. One of the interesting feature combinations is the attachment, where you can attach a simulation that allows students to conduct experiments online and can immediately respond to their learning outcomes in the attachments that have been provided (Lai et al, 2022). So from this, combining various features in learning media based on Google Sites can make the learning process more interesting, effective, and make it easier to achieve learning objectives properly and clearly.…”

Design and application of virtual simulation teaching platform for intelligent manufacturing

“…Lamo et al 6 presented the case of study of a flexible laboratory for the use of Arduino in a Computer Technology course with 153 students, geographically distributed in Spain and Latin America. Lai et al 7 designed a three-dimensional integrated circuit virtual experiment platform based on Unity3d, which used the Unity3d and 3ds Max tools to build a three-dimensional model of instruments, equipment, electronic components, and ultra cleanroom laboratory scenes in an integrated circuit experiment. Lionetti et al 8 studied two Engaging Options for teaching microscopy remotely.…”
