This paper describes advances and remaining challenges in unstructured 3D meshing techniques for both process and device simulations and parallelization of the process simulator FLOOPS. The meshing is performed using a point cloud manager to create points and an unstructured tetrahedral mesher. Distributed parallel techniques are used to parallelize the sparse matrix assembly and solution for 3D process diffusion simulations.
