Sentaurus Device

Sentaurus Device is a 1D, 2D, and 3D semiconductor device simulator. It can simulate the electrical, thermal, and optical characteristics of group IV semiconductor material devices (silicon, germanium, and silicon carbide), as well as various compound semiconductor devices (group III–V, group II–VI, and other compounds), organic materials, and chalcogenide alloy devices.

This module is a basic introduction to the features of Sentaurus Device.
