Crosslight Software Inc.
Simulation of semiconductor optoelectronic devices (lasers, LED, photodetector, amplifier, modulator, solar cell, quantum well/wire/dot structures, transistor, etc). Crosslight offers the latest in semiconductor device/process modeling.Crosslight Software Inc. is an international company headquartered in greater Vancouver, Canada, which for over a decade has been dedicated to providing state-of-the-art TCAD tools for simulation of semiconductor devices and processes. Crosslight Software (Formerly Beamtek Software) was the first commercial company to provide CAD software for electrical and optical modeling of laser diodes (LD), and it has maintained the leadership position in that field since then. Crosslight is among the world's top suppliers of semiconductor TCAD tools with a customer list extending to tens of leading semiconductor manufacturers. Through frequent upgrades of its simulation software packages, Crosslight's people strive to offer the latest in semiconductor device/process modeling while maintaining optimal performance of the software.
Recent Simulation Software Updates (May30,06)
We wish to update our users on the following recent simulator improvements. Among numerous minor improvements, the device simulators (APSYS/PICS3D/LASTIP) version 2005.11/may06-patch improves on both speed and accuracy mainly affecting the thermal option. CSUPREM (2/3D) has fixed a mesh related bug contained in the original code from Stanford University. Also the lower limit of the
ion-implantation energy range has been extended. The specialized MOCVD simulator PROCOM (2/3D) has been enhanced so that it is more convenient to model incorporation of dopants and impurities. Most significantly, p-doping (Mg) in GaN growth has been demonstrated. This version also includes improvement in treatment of surface site occupancy during MOCVD growth.
SUPREM(3D) Enhanced for MEMS (Jan6,06)
CSUPREM (Crosslight's version of SUPREM) has been enhanced to include 3D simulation of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS simulation is now really easy. All you need is SUPREM.IV.GS from Stanford plus latest innovation from Crosslight. Please see our presentation in our Download session of this website and contact us for a free-trial (ask for version 2006.1).
Announcing Device Simulators Version 2005.11 (Oct.2,05)
Version 2005.11 of Crosslight's device simulators (APSYS/PICS3D/LASTIP) includes numerous new features, updates and improvements. The main new features include physical models for quantum dots and intersubband transitions. These features widens the application scope of our simulators to include quantum dot laser diodes (QDot Lasers),
SUPREM Fully Extended to 3D (Sep13,05)
Crosslight is pleased to announce that all capabilities and models of CSUPREM (Crosslight's version of SUPREM) has been extended from 2D to 3D. This should be good news for process engineers familiar with the original SUPREM.IV.GS from Stanford University (or TMA) since all older 2D input files may easily be extended to 3D simulation. For a concise description of CSUPREM, please see the following product brochure.
Self-heating Model Improved(Sep01,05)
We are pleased to inform users of our device simulators(LASITP/APSYS/PICS3D) that the convergence of self-heating model has been improved so that it is easier to obtain thermal roll-off of the optical power for LD or LED. This patched version also includes numerous minor bug fixes for the graphic user interface. It is highly recommended that users of the thermal option contact Crosslight to obtain an upgrade.
