Archimedes, the Free Monte Carlo simulator
This is an incremental update for researchers and engineers in semiconductor physics, offering a free tool with improved documentation.
The authors introduced Archimedes, a GNU package for Monte Carlo simulations of electron transport in semiconductor devices, which has been developed since 2004 with added features like quantum corrections and a GUI, and this document provides its first complete manual to help users write input decks.
Archimedes is the GNU package for Monte Carlo simulations of electron transport in semiconductor devices. The first release appeared in 2004 and since then it has been improved with many new features like quantum corrections, magnetic fields, new materials, GUI, etc. This document represents the first attempt to have a complete manual. Many of the Physics models implemented are described and a detailed description is presented to make the user able to write his/her own input deck. Please, feel free to contact the author if you want to contribute to the project.
