Hi, I am new in sentaurus simulation and I am also new to this forum.
When I was trying to simulate a basic 2Dnpn model in sprocess( it's my first time to simulate a 2D model), I fund an error saying "error in PARDISO driver". I want to figure out whether there is something wrong with my codes or with my software. The codes and the picture of the model will be attached below. Please help me! Thank you a lot.
