TCAD Lab
The TCAD laboratory, ECED, SVNIT, is a research laboratory was set-up under DST research project grant in 2011, with key focus on modeling, simulation, fabrication and characterization of devices and circuits. Research topics includes Floating Gate MOS, Quantum Dots, Single Electron Transistors, Radiation Effects in CMOS and ultra-low power circuits. The lab infrastructure consists high performance computing facilities for high-end numerical simulators. It also has the state of the art characterization facility for materials and devices. PG and UG students work on the TCAD tools as well as get hands-on training of characterization facility. The laboratory is also providing support to research scholars for their cutting-edge research work.

TCAD Software
• TCAD software like Sentaurus TCAD (2D) and Cogenda Visual TCAD & Genius Device Simulator (2D and 3D) are useful for research scholars, PG and UG students working on devices and circuits. Modeling and simulation of semiconductor processes and devices are done using these softwares. Circuit level implementations can also be done by using these simulators.
• SIMON 1.2 and 2.0: This software is especially useful in research of single-electron devices. The Coulomb Diamond, Coulomb Blockade as well Quantum Mechanical Tunneling can be observed using this software.
Major Hardware
