Abstract
In the sixth session, Dr. Klimeck will give a brief overview of ABACUS and demonstrate the MOS Capacitor Lab. Students can experiment with the fundamental component of a MOSfet that is any computer chip. Students can explore the high and low frequency response of n-type and p-type MOS capacitors as a function of doping and structural parameters such as oxide thickness, dielectric constants, and semiconductor thickness. Students can also explore sophisticated effects such as surface charges, oxide charges and minority carrier lifetimes. MOS-Capacitor-Lab is powered by the industrial tool PADRE which was used at Bell Labs to design transistors.

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.
