Aeneas

Aeneas is the GNU package for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices. It is a 3D Monte Carlo Semiconductor Device Simulator which can take into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the implementation of the Bohm effective potential method.
The physics and geometry of a general device is introduced by typing a simple script, which makes, in this sense, Aeneas a powerfull tool for the simulation of quite general semiconductor devices. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate device of every shape covered by tetrahedra which makes the choice of 3D shapes practically endless. This is the first world simulator with the caracteristic of coupling MC transport to 3D tetrahedra meshes.
