Publisher review:GNU Archimedes is the GNU package for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices. GNU Archimedes is the GNU package for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices.
It is a 2D Fast Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the implementation of the Bohm effective potential method. The physics and geometry of a general device is introduced by typing a simple script, which makes, in this sense, GNU Archimedes a powerfull tool for the simulation of quite general semiconductor devices. In the present release, GNU Archimedes is able to simulate electrons and heavy holes in Silicon and GaAs (Gamma and L-valleys) devices (holes are simulated by means of a simplified MEP model), the presence of Silicon Oxide (for MOSFET devices, principally) and in the next release, which is in preparation, it will be able to take into account the Impact-Ionisation effects (this release will be delivered as soon as possible).
GNU Archimedes 0.0.7 is a C/C++ script for Scientific/Engineering scripts design by Jean Michel Sellier.
It runs on following operating system: Linux / BSD.
