Add-On Slave CPU’s to Professional Version

Incorporating parallel computation technology, Genius is able to handle large problems with 200,000 or more mesh nodes and is capable of speeding up simulation times by a factor of 10 or more. Additional slave CPU’s may be added to the professional version of Visual TCAD / Genius to enhance the parallel processing capabilities. Add-on slave CPU’s can be purchased. Bundles of 4, 8, 16 and 32 slave CPU’s will eligible for substantial discounts - price on application

Add-On GDS2Mesh to Professional Version

Gds2Mesh is a 3D TCAD model construction tool that takes GDSII mask layouts as input and constructs a device model with predefined and customizable process rules. The generated device structure can be imported in Genius for device simulation.

Source Code Availability

All source code related to physical models is provided along with our simulators. Researchers are welcome to study and improve the code and to develop new models using the Genius simulator. Please feel free to check out a copy of the open source edition on the downloads page.
