  • Abstract
    TCAD has been a useful tool for device design for decades. Radiation damage of devices requires accurate simulation of how charges move and are trapped, and the trap populations. This paper describes a simulation capability for these classes of problems and provides examples demonstrating its usefulness for investigation of device failure.
