APPLIED MDLx™ GINESTRA™ SIMULATION SOFTWARE
Ginestra™ is a software product designed to simulate the operation and electrical characteristics of modern logic (e.g., FinFET, FeFET) and memory (e.g., Flash, RRAM, CBRAM, FeRAM, PCM) devices, with a particular focus on dielectric-related phenomena and novel materials. The software is based on a multiscale modeling approach and relies on a comprehensive physics-based description of charge/ion transport; charge trapping; and material modifications due to different phenomena such as degradation, polarization switching, phase change, and more.
