Charon Device Simulator https://charon.sandia.gov
Charon is an open-source semiconductor device modeling code, widely referred to as a TCAD (technology computer-aided design) code, developed at Sandia National Laboratories.
Charon offers the solution options of stabilized Galerkin (supg) methods, Scharfetter-Gummel (CVFEM) methods and a unique Exponentially-Fitted Flux Petrov-Galerkin method (EFFPG).
By applying finite element & massively parallel solver technology, the tool is capable of modeling at unprecedented fidelity including transient gamma and neutron irradiation effects. (excerpt)
