Stress assessment for device performance in three-dimensional IC: linked package-scale/die-scale/feature-scale simulation flow

Three-dimensional Transient Device Simulation with Minimos

Our device simulator MINIMOS has been used for the numerical analysis -of three-dimensional non-planar silicon MOSFET and GaAs MESFET structures. Here we present an extension of the program for the simulation of transient effects. This version of MINIMOS has further been enhanced by a new, highly accurate current integration method. The computational complexity of three-dimensional transient si...

Three - Dimensional Adaptive Semiconductor Device Simulation

We present results from a three-dimensional device simulator, using adaptive meshing and solving the drift-diffusion equations. The adaption algorithm and the criteria used for adap-tion are discussed. Three devices of industrial interest are presented: a bipolar transistor, a 1.25/zm n-MOS device and a CCD, illustrating the range of devices which may be successfully simulated.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of temperature and flow fields in a Czochralski growth of germanium

For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...

Experimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids

In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...
