I am trying to export bandstructure data from Quantum ATK to Sentaurus using this tutorial:
https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/coupling_atk_with_synopsys_tools/coupling_atk_with_synopsys_tools.html
In this tutorial, they mention exporting the output as a .sai file as this works for Sentaurus (I am unsure how to do this yet so if anyone has any documentation on importing .sai files into Sentaurus, that would be greatly appreciated!). However when I go to install the add on as suggested in the tutorial, it does not show up. Is there some other way to be download this add on, or perhaps is there an update to Quantum ATK that I need to make?

Sorry, this tutorial is 8 years old, and is very much outdated and should be removed. Also the Sentaurus tool "ATD" that would read the sai file no longer exists.
If you describe in more detail what you are trying to achieve (beyond reproducing the tutorial) by using an atomistic band structure in TCAD, we can probably suggest other methods to couple these tools.

Thank you for the information.
I am essentially trying to use Quantum ATK to simulate defect energies, from first principles, at the interface between p-doped Si and Si as well as some material like InAs and Si. Then use that data to create a homogeneous and heterogeneous TFET devices in Sentaurus TCAD simulator. Please let me know if any further description is needed
