Role of Ab-Initio Methods on Nanoscale<br />

1. Improving traditional (continuum) process<br />

modeling to include nanoscale effects<br />

– Identify relevant equations & parameters (“physics”)<br />

– Basis for atomistic process modeling<br />

(Monte Carlo, MD)<br />

2. Nanoscale characterization<br />

= Combination of experiment & ab-initio calculations<br />

3. Atomic-level process + transport modeling<br />

= structure-property relationship (“ultimate goal”)<br />
