]]> v2021 Release Announcement https://crosslight.com/news-events/v2021-release-announcement/ Fri, 22 Oct 2021 00:05:51 +0000 https://crosslight.com/?p=2016 Crosslight is proud to announce new features & milestones for its upcoming v2021 release. In addition to multiple bug fixes and improvements, the following
new feature/improvements were made:

  • LINUX platform release Process and Device simulation with improved GUI support
  • Metal/semiconductor interface to support the same metal in contact with multiple regions of semiconductor
  • Hot carrier injection model implemented using hydrodynamic TCAD simulation to support modeling of long term reliability related to hot carrier injection in transistors
  • Hydrogen and other impurity diffusion common in TFT process
  • Interface between LTSpice project files and mixed-mode TCAD simulation, so that it is convenient to start with a LTSpice simulation when adding circuit elements to TCAD simulation.
  • Field-induced trap emission (Poole-Frenkel) model
  • VCSEL/TMM model improved to handle tunnel juction cascade MQW VCSEL
  • Special treatment minority carrier in wide bandgap materials enhanced to improve convergence
  • Mesh-bending model improved to treat TFT-OLED with multiple cells

This version will be released later this year, after final testing has been completed. Customers with an up-to-date maintenance contract can contact their local sales representatives if they wish to try these new features right away.
