SYNOPSIS
This session is devoted to the state-of-the-art computational methodologies for ab-initio, and first principle analysis and modelling of microacoustic, microelectronics, and quantum devices. Extreme miniaturisation, high-frequency and high-density requirements of today’s electronic devices have made large-scale three dimensional computing of small-scale devices a daunting challenge. Currently, several strategies have been proposed and partially implemented to cope with this task. Thermal phenomena, electromagnetic compatibility and packaging-related considerations along with a myriad of other physical effects need to be modelled and computed with extreme accuracy and fast.
Contributions to traditional as well as more recently-developed techniques are solicited: finite element method, finite difference method, conservative finite difference method, boundary elements method, density functional theory, non-equilibrium Green’s functions, Monte Carlo-based simulation techniques, multiscale analysis, accelerated computational techniques, iterative techniques, parallel computing techniques for device simulation.
We strongly sense a need for a paradigm change in accelerated computational techniques and in our present conceptualisation of physical phenomena. It is hoped that the presentations in this session will have an impetus to this end.
