Atomistic Modeling of Real World Nanoelectronics Devices

Gerhard Klimeck, Purdue University

Usage Details

This downscaling of electronic devices has reached the range where the number of atoms in critical dimensions is countable, geometries are formed in three dimensions and new materials are being introduced. Under these conditions the overall geometry constitutes a new material that cannot be found as such in nature. The interactions of electrons, photons, and lattice vibrations are now governed by these new material properties and longer range interaction mechanisms such as strain. The NanoElectronic MOdeling (NEMO) tool suite is aimed at comprehending the critical multi-scale, multi-physics phenomena and delivering results to engineers, scientists, and students through efficient computational approaches.
