nextnano3
nextnano3 - a spin-off from the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technical University of Munich - develops software for the simulation of electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor nano devices and materials including semiconductor/electrolyte systems that are used for bio chip applications.
Our customers are the research labs of the leading semiconductor companies in the electronic and optoelectronic sector as well as academic institutions.
Applications include quantum wells, quantum wires (nano wires), quantum dots, quantum cascade lasers, resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs), high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), Nano-MOSFETs, ion-sensitive field effect transistors (ISFETs) and new materials like "strained silicon" or "diluted nitrides".
Our unique selling proposition is a better physical method for the calculation of the quantum mechanical properties of an arbitrary combination of geometries and materials, i.e. nextnano3 is not limited to certain types of devices and thus perfectly suited for both, currently existing and novel devices, like for instance protein sensors (bio chips).
The customers' benefits are
- better understanding of device physics
- systematically improve and optimize devices
- less redesign cycles (optimum prototype).
