Synopsys TCAD and radiation model in 'sdevice' (supported materials)?

Jan 09, 2008 1 Replies

I'm trying to run the gamma radiation model in TCAD. Does anyone here know if it works with anything other than silicon and poly? I ran it and I'm only obtaining results for those two materials. It's not showing any values for SiO2 or nitride.



Thanks, eric


I updated the .par files of the other materials and it still didn't work. I was able to turn off the radiation model by taking out the parameters from the Silicon.par file. I also did a -P:All and used the resulting modified .par file for my simulation and that didn't work either.

I also varied the dose and dose rates to see if the generation was just so low TCAD didn't simulate it.

I would appreciate any help you can provide on this. This is for academic purposes and I'm one of the first people to use this tool at my university.
