The overall objective of this project is to develop a commercial quality, validated computer aided design (CAD) tool, THz quantum based semiconductor devices. THz device design must account for quantum effects such as quantum resonant modes, quantum mode mixing, tunneling, intersubband transitions, side wall scattering, and surface recombination. Currently, there are no CAD tools available that incorporate all the proper physics for designing THz quantum devices. The proposed quantum CAD ...
The significant achievements during the second and third month of the project include: (1) a CFDRC employee receiving three weeks of training on the NEMO theory and software at JPL, (2) implementing a single band model that sits on identical footing to all NEMO multiband models, (3) an initial implementation of small signal AC analysis for 1, 2, and 10 band tight binding models, (4) grouping the 960+ source files ...
