PMC-3D: A Parallelized 3D Monte Carlo Simulator for Electronic and Electro-optic Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abst rac t A parallel Monte Carlo device simulator, PMC-3D has been developed for multiprocessors. Through the use of parallel architectures, full three dimensional modeling of the device domain is possible. Here a discussion of the parallel algorithm is given for coupling the Monte Carlo particle simulation with Poisson's equation for quasi-static problems, and full Maxwell's equations for electro-optic devices.

We have investigated three-dimensional (3D) e ects in sub-micron GaAs MESFETs using a parallel Monte Carlo device simulator, PMC-3D [1]. The parallel algorithm couples a standard Monte Carlo particle simulator for the Boltzmann equation with a 3D Poisson solver using spatial decomposition of the device domain onto separate processors. The scaling properties of the small signal parameters have b...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Monte Carlo Device Simulation with Parallel Multigrid Solver
We present the results in embedding a multigrid solver for Poisson's equation into the parallel 3D Monte Carlo device simulator, PMC-3D. First we have implemented the sequential multigrid solver, and embedded it into the Monte Carlo code which previously was using the sequential successive overrelaxation (SOR) solver. Depending on the convergence threshold, we have obtained signi cant speedups ...
متن کاملBoundary conditions for Density Gradient corrections in 3D Monte Carlo simulations
Monte Carlo remains an effective simulations methodology for the study of MOSFET devices well into the decananometre regime as it captures non-equilibrium and quasi-ballistic transport. The inclusion of quantum corrections further extends the usefulness of this technique without adding significant computational cost. In this paper we examine the impact of boundary conditions at the Ohmic contac...
