The Nanoelectronic Modeling Tool (NEMO) and its Expansion to High Performance Parallel Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material variations on an atomic scale enable the quantum mechanical functionality of devices such as resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs), quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs), quantum well lasers, and heterostructure field effect transistors (HFETs). The design and optimization of such heterostructure devices requires a detailed understanding of quantum mechanical electron transport. NEMO is a general-purpose quantum device design and analysis tool that addresses this problem. This paper highlights two recent NEMO developments: 1) genetic algorithm based parameter optimization and 2) full band hole transport simulation.

متن کاملParallelization of the Nanoelectronic Modeling Tool (NEMO 1-D) on a Beowulf Cluster
NEMO’s main task is the computation of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics for resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs). The primary model for high performance RTDs is the full band sp3s∗ tight binding simulation, which is based on a numerical double integral of energy and transverse momentum over a transport kernel at each bias point. A full charge self-consistent simulation invoking this model on a...

The fundamentally sound non-Equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) approach provides the theoretical basis for NEMO 1-D as the first nanoelectronic TCAD tool. Effects of quantum charging, bandstructure and incoherent scattering from alloy disorder, interface roughness, acoustic phonons, and polar optical phonons are modeled. Engineers and experimentalists who desire a black-box design tool as well...
