 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:  EPEL-6  
Component:  TCAD         |     Version:  devel   
 Keywords:  monte_carlo  |

 = phenomenon =
 Missing a 3D Monte Carlo Semiconductor Device Simulator. We do have a 2D
 Monte Carlo Semiconductor Device Simulator : Achimedes.
Aeneas fills this gap.
 http://www.gnu.org/software/aeneas/
= background analysis =
 It can take into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the
 implementation of the Bohm effective potential method.
The physics and geometry of a general device is introduced by typing a
 simple script, which makes, in this sense, Aeneas a powerfull tool for the
 simulation of quite general semiconductor devices. Furthermore, it is
 possible to simulate device of every shape covered by tetrahedra which
 makes the choice of 3D shapes practically endless. This is the first world
 simulator with the caracteristic of coupling MC transport to 3D tetrahedra
 meshes.
= implementation recommendation =
Simple package to prepare.
