| Abstract | Computer simulation is now an essential tool for semiconductor process and device research and development, 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 device simulation for the first time. After reviewing the semiconductor equations, I will briefly describe how one solves them "exactly" on a computer. I'll then discuss an example device simulation program and conclude with some thoughts about how to effectively use simulation in practice. |
| Biography | Mark Lundstrom is the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where his teaching and research center on the physics, technology, and simulation of electronic devices. Lundstrom is the founding director of the NSF-funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology, which has a mission of research, education, leadership, and service to the nation's National Nanotechnology Initiative. He serves on the leadership councils of the NASA-funded Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing and the MARCO Focus Center for Materials, Structures, and Devices. Lundstrom's work has been recognized by several awards, most recently, in 2005, from the Semiconductor Industry Association in recognition of his career contributions to the semiconductor industry. |

0 0 Login to vote It a very good "primer" on the topic. A brief discussion on critical issues while simulating time dependent( high frequency,transients) will be very helpful and make it more complete.

0 0 Login to vote good examples of physical insight that can be obtained from numerical simulation of p-n junction. There is quite broad scope in the lecture, from mathematical formulation, tips in simulation, how the software runs, etc.

0 0 Login to vote The lecture content was excellent... the slides were very well prepared. Points were illustrated with good, easy to understand examples/analogies/metaphors/etc. Pace of the lecture was good. However, one suggestion would be to the pen/highlighter tool in whatever presentation tool you are using -- I know that Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 has one, and I'm fairly certain that Macromedia Breeze has one as well... the best way to do this would be to plug a USB mouse into your laptop for the lecture, or better yet, use a tablet PC. While laser pointers, yard sticks, and the like can be effective when giving most lectures, if your lecture happens to be recorded, then the people watching the lecture remotely at a later date will have no idea what you mean when you say "here" or "there" on the slide. By using the pen/highlighter tool during the presentation, you can preserve this in the recorded version.

0 0 Login to vote It is a good introduction to semiconductor device simulation. But there are many mathematics concepts which are a little difficult to follow for ones without a strong math background.
