Internet and Parallel Computing in Semiconductor Device Simulation

چکیده
A prototype of on-line simulator is proposed for semiconductor device simulation. The principal concept of the design of the simulator is to provide a Web-based, platform independent, and distributed computing environment for the user. The framework of the prototype consists of a standard Web browser interface implemented via HTTP and PHP, a Linux Web server, an MPI system of parallel processors, and numerical packages necessary to perform a complete device simulation. The kernel of the simulator is MONOMOS so called that numerical solutions of the fundamental semiconductor equations are obtained by means of the monotone iterative method instead of Newton's method. Independent of the initial guess for each I-V point, the monotone iterative method allows a simultaneous, and hence parallel, simulation of different I-V curves with various biasing conditions. Simulation results of sub-micron N-MOSFET devices will be given to demonstrate the features of the prototype.

متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
