Abstract

Archimedes is the GNU package for Monte Carlo (MC) semiconductor devices simulations. Since its very first release in 2005, users have been able to download the source code under the GNU Public License (GPL). Since then, many features have been introduced in this package, including the ability to perform Archimedes simulation on nanoHUB.org. This paper presents the current code status and anticipated developments.
