Date: December 12, 2023
Time: 1600-1700 CET (GMT+1)

Speaker: Dr. Tue Gunst,

Organizer: Josef Weinbub, TC 10 Co-Chair, weinbub@iue.tuwien.ac.at

Topic: QuantumATK: Interfacing cutting-edge practical nanoelectronic applications with advanced atomistic simulations

View recording here.

Abstract:

Advancing next-generation nanoelectronics requires integrating atomistic cutting-edge simulation methods into realistic nanoelectronic device models. In this webinar, I will demonstrate how machine-learned force fields and multi-model simulators can be used to model nanoelectronic research problems by combining realistic interfaces, flexible electrostatic solvers, and advanced transport analysis. I will also highlight the latest trends in QuantumATK modeling and present case studies relevant to the nanoelectronic industry.

Presenter:

Tue Gunst is a senior application engineer at Synopsys working on advanced transport and materials applications in the QuantumATK team. Tue specializes in  nanoelectronics modeling, using his background as a university scientist (Post Doc & assistant professor at the Technical University of Denmark from 2013 to 2019) to bridge the gap between the newest simulation methodologies and applications relevant to key industry players. Tue collaborated closely with QuantumATK teams throughout his university research projects and joined Synopsys in 2019 to accelerate the utilization of advanced modeling techniques in nanoelectronic research applications.

Abstract

Over 200,000 nanoHUB users have run over 7 million simulations in Apps mostly focused on semiconductor devices and materials modeling. These apps provide very simple and intuitive interfaces to community and research codes that are hard to install, operate, and to maintain even for experts.   As such nanoHUB created the first end-to-end scientific cloud enabling users to focus on solving problems rather than installing and maintaining software (before “the cloud” was a thing).  Any portal provides access, installation, and compute cycles, however, usability is most often neglected.  Most scientific tools focus on solving “any” simulation problem in a specific problem range.  Such comprehensiveness makes these tools usable by experts only, typically after intensive training.  nanoHUB has instead focused on delivering a spectrum of apps that individually have a limited capability compared to the underlying toolset, but as a whole set cover a vast swath of problems. Hundreds of community members have contributed over 700 Apps into nanoHUB.

We assembled some of these Apps that are essential for specific courses into small sets such as ABACUS (crystals, bandstructure, drift-diffusion, pn-junctions, BJTs, MOScaps, MOSFETs) [1].  The usability results are stunning.  Our user analytics prove that over half of the simulation users participate in structured education through homework/project assignments.   We can identify classroom sizes and detailed tool usage [2,3]. We can begin to build mind-maps of design explorations and assess depth of explorations for individuals and classes. While parts of academia struggled to innovate curricula, we have measured the median first-time App insertion into a class to be less than six months.  Over 180 institutions have utilized nanoHUB in their curriculum innovation in over 3,600 classes.   2 million nanoHUB visitors explore lectures and tutorials annually.  Over 2,700 papers cite nanoHUB in the scientific literature resulting in 68,300+ secondary citations and an equivalent h-index of 121.

With such a community presence we believe nanoHUB is the platform of choice to deliver online modeling, simulation, virtual environments, and lectures for the US initiative on workforce development and chip design [4]. We are in the process to build chipshub.org as a group inside nanoHUB.  Chipshub hosts commercial and open-source chip design tools and associated apps and learning materials.   It is hosted in Purdue’s hardware cloud.

    2023 IEEE NTC TC10 Modeling and Simulation June Webinar

    Abstract:

    For designing the most advanced technological nodes, quantum effects become hard to approximate. This leads to the failure of using conventional TCAD tools that are essentially based on empirical laws. Therefore, engineers need new simulation tools at the 5 nm node and below that combine a more fundamental formalism with affordable performances and ease of use. During this webinar, we will briefly describe what is behind the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism with simplified arguments. We will show how simulating nano-devices becomes easy, even without full academic knowledge of the NEGF theory. The quantum complexity is hidden inside the simulation tool “VictoryAtomistic” which benefits from years of development at the highest level. We will show two test cases: a silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (NWFET) and a 2D-TMD Tunneling FET (TFET) made of a layer of MoS2. Thanks to a combination of state-of-the-art band structure calculations with the NEGF, predictive, versatile, and fast simulations of these devices become accessible with an environment that provides a smooth transition for TCAD users.
