Abstract

Please find an updated list of nanoelectronic related simulation tools and resources at the Nanoelectronics Education Group.

Many simulation tools are available on the nanoHUB. The tools have been well-tested and here include supporting materials so that they can be effectively used for education or intelligently used for research. The educational tools include example a first time users guide and example homework assignments.

For an in depth presentation of educational tools see: Semiconductor Device Education Material.

For a list of recommended research tools see: Simulation Tools for Research.
