Efficient Poisson Equation Solvers for Large Scale 3D Simulations

Speyer G., Vasileska D., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

Self-consistent semiconductor device modeling requires repeated solution of the 2D or 3D Poisson equation that describes the potential profile of the device for a given charge distribution. As a result, efficient methods for the solution [...]

Three-Dimensional Multi-Grid Poisson Solver for Modeling Semiconductor Devices

Wigger S.J., Saraniti M., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

In this paper, a full three-dimensional (3D), inhomogenous linear multi-grid Poisson solver is presented for application in particle-based simulation tools for devic emodeling. This algorithm represents the first such fully 3D multi-grid solver for device [...]

Cellular Automata Studies of Vertical MOSFETs

Saraniti M., Wigger S., Zandler G., Formicone G., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

This paper presents an overview of the cellular automata (CA) method for semiconductor device simulation. The main advantages of the CA method over the Monte Carlo (MC) approach are presented, and limitations of its modeling [...]
