Hi i want to make a quick nmos in silvaco, I was having trouble with it because i am pushed to use atlas for this project. I just want an atlas script to start with if any body would help me i would appreciate it. The whole script would nee to be in atlas only no athena
 

Have you looked at the examples which ship with the
installation packages? There looks to be a lot of stuff
there, although I have not messed with the TCAD end
of it. Maybe you can find one with an NMOS structure
involved.
 
I have but they are all coded in athena none of them are atlas only.
 
Code:
set zwth=10
set taun=1e-6
set taup=1e-9
###########
go atlas
mesh space.mult=1.0 width=$zwth

x.mesh loc=0.0 spac=0.01
x.mesh loc=0.25 spac=0.01
x.mesh loc=1.0 spac=0.01
x.mesh loc=2.0 spac=0.005
x.mesh loc=2.5 spac=0.005
x.mesh loc=3.0 spac=0.005
x.mesh loc=3.25 spac=0.01
x.mesh loc=3.5 spac=0.01
x.mesh loc=4.0 spac=0.01


y.mesh loc=-0.11 spac=0.002

y.mesh loc=0.06 spac=0.005
y.mesh loc=0.08 spac=0.005
y.mesh loc=0.8 spac=0.05
y.mesh loc=0.6 spac=0.05
y.mesh loc=1.0 spac=0.15

######Doping
doping uniform region=2 n.type conc=1e20
doping uniform region=3 n.type conc=1e20
doping uniform region=4 p.type conc=1e14
doping uniform region=5 p.type conc=1e14
doping uniform region=7 n.type conc=1e20
#doping uniform x.min=0.0 x.max=5.0 y.min=0.5 y.max=1.0 n.type conc=1e12

##### structure
save outf=GM_SiC.str
tonyplot GM_SiC.str
quit

I coded the above structure can somebody tell me if this structure is a valid NMOS structure before I start doing any simulation with it.

Thank you
 

Here is a very simple nmos
Code:
#nmos bulk mosfet Atlas only
go atlas

x.mesh loc=0.18 spac=0.01
y.mesh loc=-0.002 spac=0.0005
y.mesh loc=0.0 spac=0.0004
y.mesh loc=0.03 spac=0.008
y.mesh loc=0.10 spac=0.01
