Distributed algorithms for three-dimensional semiconductor device simulations

摘要

We describe a newly developed parallel three-dimensional semiconductor device simulator. The program utilizes the message passing architecture and has been developed on a network of workstations. Two iterative algorithms to solve the nonlinear semiconductor device equations are presented, The algorithms are tested by simulating a three-dimensional MOSFET structure. A near-ideal speedup for the distributed algorithms has been obtained for Poisson's equation. [References: 14]
