NEMO 1-D HistoryThe Nanoelectronic Modeling tool (NEMO) is a 1-D device design tool for the quantum mechanical simulation of electron (and hole) states in semiconductor heterostructures. A variety of material systems such as GaAs, InP and Si can presently be analysed. A graphical user interface enables the simple enty of the heterostructure, the entry of the simulation parameters, the simulation control, and the analysis of the data. The code consists presently of approximately 255,000 lines of code written in C, FORTRAN, F90 and yacc. An overview of the state of the simulator at the time of its release is given in this pdf document. NEMO was developed at the Applied Research Laboratory of Raytheon (formerly known as the Central Research Lab of Texas Instruments ) with U.S. government funding. The tool was delivered to the U.S. government and it is available to the U.S. research community. |

| Two key NEMO developers R. Chris Bowen and Gerhard Klimeck transitioned to JPL and continued to model electron transport in nanostructured devices. The infrastructure of the NEMO code is used to continue the development of the 1-D tool and to expand it to higher dimensions within the framework of high performance computing. | ||||||||||
