Every software package contains a full set of examples suitable for that version and are installed with the software. If you see examples here that are not in your installation you should consider updating to a later version of the software. These examples can be used by beginners and advanced users for product evaluation, teaching purposes, and self-training.

Required Modules

Victory Process

  • Core

Victory Mesh

  • 3D Meshing

Victory Device

  • 3D Simulator

In this example, a Cylindrical Nanowire is created using the Victory Process structure editor.

The structure created by Victory Process is then meshed in Victory Mesh using a full 3D Delaunay mesh and is then transferred to Victory Device for electrical analysis of the unsaturated Vt curves as well IdVd curves.

The device simulation uses the energy balance model to account for the effects of ballistic carrier transport, which significantly increases the drain current.

It also uses the Bohm Quantum Potential (BQP) model to take into account quantum confinement of carriers in 3 dimension which significantly decreases the drain currents.

For comparison purpose, simulations with just Drift Diffusion are also included.
