Quality in Simulation-Only Manuscripts Submitted to J-EDS

Abstract

In recent years the Journal of the Electron Device Society (J-EDS) has experienced an increasing number of submissions of “simulation only” manuscripts. One reason for this is the improved accuracy and maturity of physicsbased simulation tools, either Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) or circuit analysis programs, that allow researchers to explore, devise and optimize the best breakthroughs going beyond the state-of-the-art technology without the need for experimental validation.
