A: Modeling of the increase in breakdown voltage at elevated temperatures requires a model to describe the temperature dependence of the impact ionization coefficients. In ATLAS there are two impact

The recent advances in PC hardware capability in terms of memory and CPU floating point performance has allowed the possibility of running realistic sized ATHENA and ATLAS problems on PCs.

In order to simulate heterojunction devices accurately, both the thermionic emission and tunneling mechanisms must be considered when calculating transport across hetrojunctions. Drift-diffusion descriptions of carrier mobility are incomplete at

EXACT is a sophisticated interconnect characterization tool integrated into the DISCOVERY framework. It is designed to build the capacitance coefficient database required by any Layout Parasitic Extraction (LPE) tool. To
