Efficient and realistic device modeling from atomic detail to the nanoscale
As semiconductor devices scale to new dimensions, the materials and designs
become more dependent on atomic details. NEMO5 is a nanoelectronics modeling
package designed for comprehending the critical multi-scale, multi-physics
phenomena through efficient computational approaches and quantitatively
modeling new generations of nanoelectronic devices as well as predicting novel
device architectures and phenomena. This article seeks to provide updates on
the current status of the tool and new functionality, including advances in
quantum transport simulations and with materials such as metals, topological
insulators, and piezoelectrics.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figure
