ABACUS—Introduction to Semiconductor Devices
site
When we hear the term semiconductor device, we may think first of the transistors in PCs or video game consoles, but transistors are the basic component in all of the electronic devices we use in our daily lives. Electronic systems are built from such components as transistors, capacitors,...
NCN Nanoelectronics
Microelectronics was one of the great technologies of the 20th century. Progress in technology has now taken microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet an engineering discipline. The NCN has a vision to re-invent electronics from the “bottom-up,” by which we...

Introduction to Advancing Quantum Mechanics for Engineers and Physicists “Advancing Quantum Mechanics for Engineers” (AQME) toolbox is an assemblage of individually authored tools that, used in concert, offer educators and students a one-stop-shop for semiconductor education. The...
ACUTE—Assembly for Computational Electronics
This nanoHUB “topic page” provides an easy access to selected nanoHUB educational material on computational electronics that is openly accessible. We invite users to participate in this open source, interactive educational initiative: content by uploading it to the nanoHUB. (See...
a TCAD Lab
Introduction to TCAD Simulation The existing semiconductor industry is now fundamentally built on the assumption that almost every aspect of a chip is first designed in software. Process simulation provides the ability to optimize and control the various processing steps, such as...
madFETs
mad-FET introduction The Field-Effect-Transistor has been proposed and implement in many physical systems, materials, and geometries. A multitude of acronyms have developed around these concepts. The “Many-Acronym-Device-FET” or “madFET” was born. The author of this...

For now this page is a rather empty place holder for references on nanoHUB to the OMEN tool. There is a more complete OMEN web page that is maintained by the Nanoelectronic Modeling Group of Prof. Gerhard Klimeck.
nanoHUB: Social Network of Citations
nanoHUB citations in nano-Research, Education, and Cyberinfrastructure We have identified 575 citations to nanoHUB in the scientific literature with 56% of these citations attributed to investigators who are not in any way affiliated with NCN. The citation map provides a visual representation...
nanoHUB Assessment
Open Usage Statistics The idea of science portals that enable the rapid dissemination of scientific and engineering results (and that enable other researchers and educators to use these results) has been pursued by many organizations since the early-to-mid-1990s. The Purdue University Network...
nanoHUB: Lowering Barriers to Modeling and Simulation
Lowering Barriers to Simulation Accelerating Deployment of Scientific Software In June 2005, NCN released Rappture 1.0, a new, open toolkit to facilitate the rapid development and robust deployment of scientific simulation packages. Designed to work as a library for a variety of programming...
nanoHUB Virtual Organization
Content Characterization by Usage, User Feedback, and Community Involvement Virtual Organizations are institutions whose members are geographically widespread but share a common set of resources and operating conditions. As a virtual cyber-community engaged in theory, modeling and simulation,...
nanoHUB: Research use for NCN internal Research and Development
Example – OMEN-FET A newly developed nanoHUB tool that modelselectron transport in high mobility InAs/InGaAs based transistors. The particularly important modeling capability is the mapping of the non-parabolic bandstructure to a simplified model and the ability to compute the gate...
nanoHUB: Use of External Resources by External Researchers
The analysis of our external literature citations revealed some examples where external theory-driven researchers utilized a nanoHUB tool that has been contributed to nanoHUB from outside of the NCN. For example the authors Kureshi and Hasan working at a university in India published their study...
nanoHUB: Use by Experimentalists
nanoHUB Social Network Map of Experimental Papers Documenting the impact achieved by researchers who are using a remote cyberinfrastructure is a challenging task and part of our assessment effort. This year we have re- examined all 575 nanoHUB citations in the literature to find out if the...
