3D simulation of Cone in Atlas Silvaco TCAD

[Akhil Kumar S]

Hi
I am interested in simulating the a cone structure in Silvaco's ATLAS TCAD.
Since its has a cylindrical symmetry, I should be able to define a simple triangle and rotate it about a side to form the cone.
I am not sure if this facility is available in Silvaco, like in Sentaurus from Synopsis. Pleas help me out.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in simulating a cone structure in Silvaco's ATLAS TCAD. To answer your question, yes, it is possible to define a cone structure in ATLAS using its cylindrical symmetry feature. You can create a triangular shape and then use the "rotate" function to rotate it around a side to form a cone.

To do this, you can follow these steps:

1. Define your triangular shape using the "polygon" command in ATLAS. Make sure to specify the coordinates of the vertices to create a equilateral triangle.

2. Next, use the "rotate" command to rotate the triangle around the desired side. You can specify the angle of rotation and the axis of rotation.

3. Finally, you can use the "extrude" command to extrude the rotated triangle to form a 3D cone structure.

I hope this helps you in creating your cone structure in ATLAS. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Best of luck with your simulation!
