SiQAD Documentation
SiQAD (Silicon Quantum Atomic Designer) is a CAD tool that enables the design and simulation of silicon dangling bond (DB) circuits through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and a modular simulation back-end. The tool currently offers simulators that predict ground-state and dynamic electron configuration of given DB configurations, and electrostatics simulation given electrode layouts. There are a few key resources available:
Feel free to join our official Slack team for SiQAD-related discussion and support!
Please read the SiQAD publication on IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (open access) for a detailed introduction to the tool and simulators. A separate conference paper detailing our electrostatic landscape solver, PoisSolver, is also available. If you would like a detailed discussion on platform technology from the physical implementation level to prospective applications in machine learning acceleration, please check out Samuel S. H. Ng’s Master’s thesis.
Please read the Basic Tutorial to familiarize with basic SiQAD features through a step-by-step tutorial.
The Walus Lab website contains information about us and other projects that we work on.
