1. A Primer on Semiconductor Device Simulation

   out of 5 stars 

   23 Jan 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

   Computer simulation is now an essential tool for the research and development of semiconductor processes and devices, but to use a simulation tool intelligently, one must know what's "under the hood." This talk is a tutorial introduction designed for someone using semiconductor...

2. Nano-Scale Device Simulations Using PROPHET-Part II: PDE Systems

   out of 5 stars 

   20 Jan 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Yang Liu, Robert Dutton

   Part II uses examples toillustrate how to build user-defined PDE systems in PROPHET.

3. Nano-Scale Device Simulations Using PROPHET

   out of 5 stars 

   20 Jan 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Yang Liu, Robert Dutton

   These two lectures are aimed to give a practical guide to the use of a general device simulator (PROPHET) available on nanoHUB. PROPHET is a partial differential equation (PDE) solver that offers users the flexibility of integrating new models and equations for their nano-device simulations. The...

4. Atomic Force Microscopy

   01 Dec 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Arvind Raman

   Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an indispensible tool in nano science for the fabrication, metrology, manipulation, and property characterization of nanostructures. This tutorial reviews some of the physics of the interaction forces between the nanoscale tip and sample, the dynamics of the...

5. First Principles-based Atomistic and Mesoscale Modeling of Materials

   out of 5 stars 

   01 Dec 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Alejandro Strachan

   This tutorial will describe some of the most powerful and widely used techniques for materials modeling including i) first principles quantum mechanics (QM), ii) large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and iii) mesoscale modeling, together with the strategies to bridge between them. These...

6. On the Reliability of Micro-Electronic Devices: An Introductory Lecture on Negative Bias Temperature Instability

   out of 5 stars 

   28 Sep 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad A. Alam

   In 1930s Bell Labs scientists chose to focus on Siand Ge, rather than better known semiconductors like Ag2S and Cu2S, mostly because of their reliable performance. Their choice was rewarded with the invention of bipolar transistors several years later. In 1960s, scientists at Fairchild worked...

7. Quantum Dots

   out of 5 stars 

   21 Jul 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

   Quantum Dots are man-made artificial atoms that confine electrons to a small space. As such, they have atomic-like behavior and enable the study of quantum mechanical effects on a length scale that is around 100 times larger than the pure atomic scale. Quantum dots offer application...

8. Parallel Computing for Realistic Nanoelectronic Simulations

   out of 5 stars 

   12 Sep 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

   Typical modeling and simulation efforts directed towards the understanding of electron transport at the nanometer scale utilize single workstations as computational engines. Growing understanding of the involved physics and the need to model realistically extended devices increases the complexity...

9. Scientific Software Development

   out of 5 stars 

   29 Jun 2005 | | Contributor(s):: Clemens Heitzinger

   The development of efficient scientific simulation codes poses a wide range of problems. How can we reduce the time spent in developing and debugging codes while still arriving at efficient programs? What happens when our codes must interact with existing tools? In recent years, higher-level...
