Simulation and Modeling of Novel Electronic Device Architectures with NESS (Nano-Electronic Simulation Software): A Modular Nano TCAD Simulation Framework

The modeling of nano-electronic devices is a cost-effective approach for optimizing the semiconductor device performance and guiding fabrication technology. In this paper, we present capabilities new flexible multi-scale nano TCAD simulation software called Nano-Electronic Simulation Software (NESS). NESS designed to study charge transport in contemporary novel ultra-scaled devices. order simulate such with complex architectures design, have developed numerous modules based on various approaches. Currently, contains drift-diffusion, Kubo–Greenwood, non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) modules. All are numerical solvers which implemented C++ programming language, all them linked solved self-consistently Poisson equation. Here, deployed some those showcase advanced nano-scale simulated paper chosen represent current state-of-the-art future technologies where quantum mechanical effects play an important role. Our examples include nanowire transistors, tunnel resonant tunneling diodes, negative capacitance transistors. results show that robust, fast, reliable platform can accurately predict describe underlying physics electronic
