Active Device

Active devices primarily include photodetectors, electro-optic modulators, and lasers.

The Macondo software's FDTD3D solver supports plasma dispersion material models, enabling the calculation of refractive index perturbations caused by carrier density distribution. This makes it capable of simulating the characteristics of various electro-optic modulator devices.

The Macondo software's FDTD3D solver can compute optical absorption power distribution. When combined with Nuwa TCAD, it can simulate the optoelectronic characteristics of various photodetector devices.

Nuwa TCAD utilizes finite element, finite difference, and finite volume methods to solve semiconductor physical equations (such as drift-diffusion equations). It performs self-consistent multiphysics simulations involving optics, electronics, thermals, mechanics, and magnetics, enabling semiconductor process and device simulations, including the optoelectronic characteristics of lasers.
