Radiant: GUI-based Design Software for Performing Simulations
of Optoelectronic Thin Film Devices Such as LED and OLED

Introduction

Device simulation helps users understand and depict the physical processes in a device and to make reliable predictions of the behavior of the next device generation. Device simulations with properly selected, calibrated models and an appropriate mesh structure are very useful for predictive analysis of novel device structures. This helps provide improved reliability and scalability, while also helping to increase development speed and reduce risks and uncertainties.

In order to be even more efficient Silvaco releases Radiant an interactive tool to simulate LED and OLED devices. Radiant consists of a very easy to use and intuitive graphical user interface allowing the user to input key simulation parameters without having to know the syntax of the device simulator. Behind the scene and automatically an input deck is created and run. Results are displayed using TonyPlot.

In this introduction to Radiant a one layer diode, with anode and cathode contacts, is created and simulated. Please see the Atlas manual for more information about Atlas commands.
