CFDRC offers scientific/engineering expertise and advanced modeling tools in Micro- and Nano-Electronics and Photonics domains. The physics-based multiscale models, developed in collaboration with DARPA, AFRL, NASA, NIST, DTRA, and leading Universities, address a wide range of problems in Nano-scale Technology Computer Aided Design (NanoTCAD), including simulation and analysis of semiconductor processes (deposition, etching, oxidation), micro/nano device physics (also with ionizing radiation effects), photonic/optoelectronic devices and circuits, as well as electro-thermal analysis and design of IC's and semiconductor devices, and chip packaging studies (thermal, mechanical, electrical). Direct interfaces to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) standards allow for automatic (one click) generation of 3D geometrical models and meshes for subsequent physical simulations.
