GNU Archimedes release 0.0.4

[sellier]

I am pleased to announce that GNU/Archimedes 0.0.4 has been released.

Archimedes is the GNU package to help in designing and simulating submicron
semiconductor devices.

It is a 2D Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant
quantum effects by means of Bohm effective potential. It can simulate both
Silicon and GaAs materials which are the most relevant in the semiconductors
industry.  The description of the device is very general and made by means of a
simple script language. Some interesting results have been obtained and are
available on the web page.

This new version is able to simulate both electrons and holes. While the
electrons can be, now, simulated by Monte Carlo and MEP model (Maximum Entropy
Principle), holes are simulated with a simplified MEP model. Furthermore, a new
important feature of GNU Archimedes is the implementation of "Fast Monte Carlo"
which enables the user to obtain very fast and accurate Monte Carlo
simulations.

A new version for the 1D and 3D simulations is under construction and will be
released as soon as possible.


It's available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/archimedes/ [via http] and
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/archimedes/ [via FTP], and from the GNU mirrors
(list at http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html).

The web page is http://www.gnu.org/software/archimedes.

Bien Amicalement

Jean Michel
