General Questions and Answers / Problem performing FET2DDevice calculations

« on: February 21, 2025, 16:52 »

Hello everyone
I have tried the algorithms for FET2DDevice calculations, as in the following links:
1- https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/FET2DAtomisticParameterExtraction/FET2DAtomisticParameterExtraction.html#AddOns.FET2D.Study.FET2DAtomisticParameterExtraction.FET2DAtomisticParameterExtraction
2- https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/FET2DDeviceSetupParameters/FET2DDeviceSetupParameters.html
3- https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/FET2DSentaurusDeviceCharacteristics/FET2DSentaurusDeviceCharacteristics.html
4- https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/FET2DSentaurusModelCalibration/FET2DSentaurusModelCalibration.html

But unfortunately every time the program stops executing and shows the message:
 (Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code)

Please help me solve this problem, knowing that the program version is QuantumATK V-2023.12-SP1.

General Questions and Answers / Re: Homo-Lumo energy

« on: May 20, 2021, 15:04 »

Dear Petr Khomyakov
Thanks for your response

If we consider that the bottom of CB and top of VB couldbe seeing as LUMO and HOMO, respectively, then when applying the equation below to calculate the Fermi level energy, we find that the Fermi energy is not in the middle of the gap between Homo and Lumo.
EFermi=(1/2)*(EHOMO+ELUMO)
This is contrary to the equation to calculate the Fermi level energy, what is the explanation for that?

General Questions and Answers / miscellaneous: spatial regions

« on: December 10, 2020, 11:11 »

Hello
I used the spatial regions to project an electric field (miscellaneous: spatial regions).
But I noticed an effect of the added spatial regions on the band gap even though the voltages were 0 for both regions.
Is there a way to avoid this effect?
Please help me in this matter
