• Archimedes is a tool for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices. It is a 2D fast Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant quantum effects.
  
  Archimedes is able to simulate electrons and heavy holes in silicon and GaAs (Gamma and L valleys) devices (holes are simulated by means of a simplified MEP model) and the presence of silicon oxide (for MOSFET devices).
  
  Archimedes has been developed by Jean Michel Sellier.

SiFET is a simulator for silicon MESFET devices. It is based on the BBW hydrodynamical model which is solved by means of the Nesshiau-Tadmor numerical method. This simulator is very robust and can easily be utilized for an optimization strategy. It can easily be coupled with a genetic algorithm which is able to reach multiobjective targets.
