ABACUS Tool Suite and MOS Capacitors - Fall 2023

Explore the ABACUS Tool Suite and MOS Capacitors in this 34-minute video lecture from the Semiconductor Education Recitation Series. Gain insights from Dr. Gerhard Klimeck of Purdue University as he provides an overview of ABACUS and demonstrates the MOS Capacitor Lab. Learn how to experiment with the fundamental component of MOSfets found in computer chips. Discover how to analyze high and low frequency responses of n-type and p-type MOS capacitors while manipulating parameters such as doping, oxide thickness, dielectric constants, and semiconductor thickness. Delve into advanced concepts including surface charges, oxide charges, and minority carrier lifetimes. Understand the capabilities of the MOS-Capacitor-Lab, powered by the industrial tool PADRE, which was utilized at Bell Labs for transistor design. Access additional resources, including the ABACUS group page and tool, to further enhance your understanding of semiconductor education.
