The Status of Minimos
نویسنده
چکیده
A B S T R A C T : MINIMOS, the Viennese two-dimensional MOS device simulation program, has been under development for almost seven years. The features of the most recent version of MINIMOS are described with particular regard to the implemented physical models. Some of the presently used numerical techniques are commented. An example demonstrates the capability of MINIMOS to tackle ULSI simulation problems.

St Ate-of-the-art Micro Materials Models in Minimos-nt
Considerable effort was spent on our two-dimensional device simulator MINIMOS-NT to get it ready for simulation of devices with high complexity in respect to materials, geometries, etc. Many of the existing physical models (band gap, mobility, thermal conductivity, energy relaxation times, specific heat, etc.) were refined, some of them were replaced by promising new ones, and many new models w...

This paper will provide information on the features of the new device simulator MINIMOS KT and demonstrate its efficiency in transient simulation of con~plex device structures. An example will indicate the feasibility of such simulations even on a workstation.
متن کاملThe MINIMOS Simulator
We describe a user-oriented software tool-MINIMOS-for the two-dimensional numerical simulation of planar MOS transistors. The fundamental semiconductor equations are solved with sophisticated programming techniques to allow very low computer costs. The program is able to calculate the doping profiles from the technological parameters specified by the user. A new mobility model has been implemen...
متن کاملComparison of Cellular Automata and MINIMOS simulations of submicron MOSFETs
We present a detailed comparison of a novel cellular automaton (CA) technique and a standard drift diffusion calculation (MINIMOS) of high field transport in semiconductor devices. The CA method may be viewed as equivalent to the Monte Carlo technique but can easily handle ensembles with more than 10 particles, can efficiently deal with complex geometries and achieve accelerations on multiproce...
متن کاملThree-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...
