In addition to industry-standard TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design) simulations, we employ quantum- and atomistic-level simulation methods, including the nonequilibrium Green's function approach and first-principles calculations, to predict and analyze the behavior of next-generation devices such as silicon nanosheet transistors and two-dimensional semiconductor transistors. To support this, we are advancing the research and development of the required simulation technologies, while also improving the performance and functionality of "Impulse TCAD," a next-generation device simulator developed by AIST.
We research and develop the TCAD simulation technology for next-generation semiconductor devices that utilize new stuructures, new materials, or new operating principles.
We theoretically analyze the effect of quantum effects on device characteristics through quantum transport calculations based on the nonequilibrium Green's function method.
We theoretically investigate the physical properties of next-generation device materials through first-principles calculations.
