Mission

To establish a coordinated research program in Computational Nanoelectronics among the local universities and research institutes/centres, to develop and deploy the infrastructure in high-performance computational nanoelectronics for the local/global researchers and industries, and to provide education and manpower training in the emerging field of nanoscale device modeling.

1. To develop a framework of multi-level simulation environment, from process through device, circuit, block, up to system, based on the state-of-the-art tools and extendable to nanoscale technologies, for the design and prediction of future technology nodes.

 
2. To develop application-specific tools at various levels of abstraction, such as Monte Carlo, numerical process and device, compact device and circuit, for the investigation of specific nanoscale phenomena and effects on device/circuit/system performance.

 
3. To develop the enabling capability in nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nanodevice modeling and characterization, and to deploy the research and development results for applications in the local/global industries as well as research communities.

 
4. To train the dedicated research manpower in nanoelectronics for Singapore industry.

The proposed program is directed towards the computational aspects of nanoscale electronics, materials, and devices.
