QuantumATK - Semiconductor Modeling
QuantumATK is used to provide solutions for critical materials issues before wafer-based data is available and reduce time and cost in advanced semiconductor modeling and development. As part of the Synopsys DTCO solution, the integration of QuantumATK with TCAD products provides a complete workflow from material to device modeling.
Why use QuantumATK software?
Our industry-leading atomistic simulation platform allows you to simulate properties of new materials, i.e., electronic, structural, magnetic, optical, thermal, etc. and their impact on new devices before wafer-based data is available, and so reduces time and cost in advanced semiconductor technology development.
