Archimedes http://www.gnu.org/software/archimedes/

  • Archimedes is the GNU package for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices. It is a 2D Fast Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the implementation of the Bohm effective potential method. (excerpt)

  • See nano-archimedes below

Charon Device Simulator https://charon.sandia.gov

  • Charon is an open-source semiconductor device modeling code, widely referred to as a TCAD (technology computer-aided design) code, developed at Sandia National Laboratories.

  • Charon offers the solution options of stabilized Galerkin (supg) methods, Scharfetter-Gummel (CVFEM) methods and a unique Exponentially-Fitted Flux Petrov-Galerkin method (EFFPG).

  • By applying finite element & massively parallel solver technology, the tool is capable of modeling at unprecedented fidelity including transient gamma and neutron irradiation effects. (excerpt)
