Semiconductors

Characterizing the Foundation of Electronic Properties

Powering Semiconductor Innovation: From Atoms to Devices

The modern world demands ever faster, more functional electronics devices, and so the components on which they rely must evolve at an ever fast rate. Semiconductors are becoming smaller, drawing less power and have improved bandwidth. But as microchips move ever closer to fundamental limitations because of their physical size, so the manufacturing difficulties increase.

Modeling & Simulation supports the development of these electronic components, from nanoscale semiconductors to flexible organic thin film transistors to bio-sensors by using electronic structure simulations as part of device design. As important is to increase the reliability of integrated circuits by modeling structural, electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of the materials.
