Recitation Series on nanoHUB Tools for Semiconductor Education: Session Five - ABACUS Tool Suite and Bipolar Junction Transistors

Category: Webinar
Description:

We invite you to join the fifth session in our Recitation Series, nanoHUB Tools for Semiconductor Education.

The objective of the recitation series is to enable faculty to enhance existing or new semiconductor classes with interactive simulations. Simulations and animations can immerse students into “what if?” scenarios and engage them in more active forms of learning through homework assignments and design projects assignments. 

Abstract: In the fifth session, Dr. Klimeck will give a brief overview of ABACUS and demonstrate the Bipolar-Junction-Transistor-Lab. Students can experiment with npn and pnp BJTs in ideal textbook 1D geometries as well as realistic 2D geometries. Different experiments with variations in doping profiles, layer thicknesses, and material systems (Si, Ge, GaAs) can be explored. Bipolar-Junction-Transistor-Lab computes internal device quantities such as charge profiles, band edge profiles, and recombination rates at equilibrium and applied bias throughout the length of the device. It also computes the terminal currents in the form of a Gummel plot as well as common emitter output current. The transistor beta is explicitly computed as a function of collector current. Students can also explore intricate consequences of different minority carrier lifetimes. Bipolar-Junction-Transistor-Lab is powered by the industrial tool PADRE which was used at Bell Labs to design transistors. ansistors.

During the recitation series, Dr. Klimeck will introduce ABACUS and each of the seven tools, giving a brief tool overview, transition into working with several sample simulations/materials, share the resources for the tool from nanoHUB (including the tools and materials needed to easily integrate these resources into new and existing coursework) and wrap up each recitation with an open Q&A session.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Gerhard Klimeck is a Chaired Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University; Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology; Reilly Director of the Center for Predictive Materials and Devices. He helped to create nanoHUB.org, the largest virtual nanotechnology user facility serving over 2.0 million global users, annually. Dr. Klimeck is a fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP), the American Physical Society (APS), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the German Humboldt Foundation. He has published over 525 printed scientific articles; he has been recognized for his co-invention of a single-atom transistor, quantum mechanical modeling theory, and simulation tools. His NEMO5 software has been used since 2015 at Intel to design nano-scaled design transistors. He was recently awarded a top 100 by R&D for his nanoHUB work - Making simulation and data pervasive.
