Abstract:

A comprehensive simulation framework that links atomistic-scale material properties to the overall features of electronic devices. This framework aims to forecast how variations in the morphology of a single atom or material layer, such as strain, defect types, and surface and interface roughness, will influence the ultimate performance of a microchip. It transitions engineering from a trial-and-error approach in material growth, which involves replicating experiments and physical fabrication for device characterization, to a predictive and cost-efficient design methodology (TCAD) at the atomistic level.
