Practical Use of a Hierarchical Linear Solver Concept for 3D MOS Device Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Three-dimensional device simulations of sidewall trench-isolated MOSFETs involve Linear systems of equations that are extremely ill-conditioned if the geometric channel length exceeds 2pm. Since conventional preconditioned iterative methods tend to fail in such cases we have implemented a robust iterative linear solver using a hierarchy of incomplete factorizations of the coefficient matrix.

We report on the modeling of ultra-small MOS devices using a newly developed full band device simulator. The simulation tool is based on a novel approach, featuring a hybrid Monte-Carlo/Cellular Automata simulation engine self-consistently coupled with a 2D and 3D multi-grid Poisson solver.
متن کاملNumerical simulation of the fluid dynamics in a 3D spherical model of partially liquefied vitreous due to eye movements under planar interface conditions
Partially liquefied vitreous humor is a common physical and biochemical degenerative change in vitreous body which the liquid component gets separated from collagen fiber network and leads to form a region of liquefaction. The main objective of this research is to investigate how the oscillatory motions influence flow dynamics of partial vitreous liquefaction (PVL). So far computational fluid d...
متن کاملA fast direct solver for elliptic problems on Cartesian meshes in 3D
We present a fast direct algorithm for solutions to linear systems arising from three dimensional elliptic equations. We follow the approach of Xia et al. (2009) on combining the multifrontal method with hierarchical matrices in two dimensions and extend it to three dimensional case. Linear time complexity is shown and a more practical variant with worse scaling is demonstrated.

متن کاملBehavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
