Sentaurus Device is an advanced multidimensional device simulator capable of simulating the electrical, thermal, and optical characteristics of silicon-based and compound semiconductor devices. Created by combining the best-in-class features from Synopsys and former ISE TCAD products, together with a wide range of new features and capabilities, Sentaurus Device is the new-generation device simulator for designing and optimizing current and future semiconductor devices.

Sentaurus Device addresses a complete range of semiconductor devices including nanoscale CMOS, FinFETs, CMOS image sensors, flash memory, SiGe HBTs, large-scale power devices, compound semiconductors, analog/RF, light-emitting diodes, and semiconductor lasers. In addition, Sentaurus Device enables the analysis and optimization of electrostatic discharge, single event upset, and soft errors.

Benefits
  • Explore new device concepts for which fabrication processes are not yet defined
  • Characterize electrical, thermal, and optical behavior of semiconductor devices for fast prototyping, development, and optimization of their performance
  • Shorten development time by supplementing experimental data with deep physical insight from simulation
  • Study sensitivity of device characteristics to process variation for optimizing parametric yields
