NanoTCAD ViDES publication

Dear ViDES Users,

a recent paper on NanoTCAD ViDES has been published in a special issue of Journal of Computational Electronics (which you can find here), and which is intended to be the reference article of the code.

Please, add the following citation, whenever you publish any work exploiting ViDES code.

D. Marian, E.G. Marin, M. Perucchini, G. Iannaccone, G. Fiori, “Multi-scale simulations of two dimensional material based devices: the NanoTCAD ViDES suite”. J Comput Electron 22, 1327–1337 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10825-023-02048-2

An updated list of published articles from many groups in the world exploiting ViDES can be found here.

Have fun!

New NanoTCAD ViDES Forum

A new forum for discussion has been created at the following link.

You need to join the forum, in order to take part to it.

 

Please note that this is meant to trigger discussion on the code among the whole community.

The bottom line is: anyone can (must) CONTRIBUTE in solving issues raised in the forum, not only NanoTCAD ViDES developers.

Have fun!

Advertising your published papers based on NanoTCAD ViDES results

A message to NanoTCAD ViDES Users:

As you may see (http://vides.nanotcad.com/vides/publications) we have recently reach a huge goal, with more than 115 papers published using results exploited through NanoTCAD ViDES!

In order to let you advertise your research among the NanoTCAD ViDES community and to keep track of the research going on, please do not forget to put a sentence in the article referencing to the code (e.g., “Results have been obtained through the open-source NanoTCAD ViDES code” and reference to the website, i.e., http://vides.nanotcad.com), as advised in the reference section of the website (http://vides.nanotcad.com/vides/contact-us/references).

So, it would be great if, once published, you could send the bibliographic information of your article,  so that we can include it in the list.

In case, you have already published your research on a journal/conference, but you cannot find it in the list, send us the reference and we will include it.

Many thanks!

Gianluca Fiori

Release of version 1.5 of the code

Dear NanoTCAD ViDES Users,

today we have released the new version of the code (v1.5).

In particular:

  • A top-of-the-barrier model for graphene FET has been released together with a new tutorial (Tutorial 20).
  • Bug fixed in CNT mode space approach (with number of modes smaller than the number of atoms on each ring).
  • Bug fixed in the create_H_from_xyz command.
  • Improved speed for the solution of 2D Poisson equation.

Have fun!

NanoTCAD ViDES tutorial @ Graphene 2016 conference in Genoa

Within the GRAPHENE 2016 conference in Genoa, a satellite TUTORIAL will be delivered on MONDAY April 18, on Multi-scale simulation of two-dimensional materials based devices.

The registration is online on the GRAPHENE 2016 website and a detailed description of the event can be found here and below.


 

TUTORIAL on Multi-scale simulation of two-dimensional materials based devices

Gianluca Fiori and Giuseppe Iannaccone University of Pisa, Italy

MONDAY APRIL 18 : 14h-18h (coffee break included) Location: Porto Antico di Genova Centro Congressi Additional fees: 25€

Description: 2D-material (2DM) technology is considered an enabling technology for new applications in electronics. However, due its embryonic stage, many fabrication issues still remain unsolved, and a comprehensive analysis of the real performance to be expected in 2DM-based devices is lacking. From this perspective, simulations are actually the only available tool able to guide and inform progress in the field.

In this tutorial, we will focus on the approaches and methods needed to simulate devices based on 2D-materials, which enable an assessment of the expected performance against Industry requirements.

We will first provide an overview of state-of-the-art devices based on 2D materials, ranging from digital (high-performance and low-power devices), to analog (i.e., radio frequency applications) as well as opto-electronics applications. We will then discuss the physical models suitable to describe the electrical behavior of 2D-devices (e.g., classical and quantum transport models).

Finally, we will propose some simple simulations to be run by means of the open-source NanoTCAD ViDES code http://vides.nanotcad.com

Summary

  1. 1)  State of the art of Electron devices based on 2D materials
  2. 2)  Modeling of devices based on 2D materials:
    1. Semiclassical models
    2. Quantum transport models: the NEGF approach
  3. 3)  Assessment of device performance through device modeling
  4. 4)  Simulations of 2D-materials through the NanoTCAD ViDES code.
