Abstract
In this work it is shown for the first time how to calculate in advance by momentum-based noise simulation for stationary Monte Carlo (MC) device simulations the CPU time, which is necessary to achieve a predefined error level. In addition, analytical expressions for the simulation-time factor of terminal current estimation are given. Without further improvements of the MC algorithm MC simulations of small terminal currents are found to be often prohibitively CPU intensive.
