Abstract
Electronic design automation modules for simulate the behavior of structures and materials at multiple simulation scales with different simulation modules.
Claims10
An EDA tool comprising:
- a data processor;
- storage configured to provide computer program instructions to the processor, including:
- a controller module causing a plurality of simulation modules to perform an EDA simulation at a plurality of different simulation scales, the plurality of simulation modules including:
- a first set of one or more ab initio simulation modules;
- and
- a second set of one of more simulation modules at a second simulation scale larger than the first simulation scale of the first set of one or more simulation modules,
- wherein the controller module causes the plurality of simulation modules to iterate between the first set of one or more ab initio simulation modules and the second set of one of more simulation modules including any of drift-diffusion simulation modules, wave function formalism quantum transport simulation modules, Wigner function quantum transport simulation modules, Boltzmann transport simulation modules.
