Hi, I am new to device modelling. I am using TCAD sentaurus tool. when i am simulating the device in SDE in SWB, it is working properly. But when iam simulating in SDEVICE i am getting an error i.e Adding Interfaces and contacts....tried to use non existing contact Source..I add all material and material interface model parameters in .par file.
Please help me
 

Re: Issue in TCAD sentaurus

Hi,

Give the exact error description, error code, and relating documents (source code).

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. the error: The child process with PID "8973" eisits with the code '1'.
gjob exits with status 1.

Error:Tried to use non existing contact 'Source'.

I don't know why this error is coming. please help me why it will arise and how to resolve this issue.
