abstract = {Federated Learning (FL) decouples model training from the
need for direct access to the data and allows
organizations to collaborate with industry partners
to reach a satisfying level of performance without
sharing vulnerable business information. The
performance of a machine learning algorithm is
highly sensitive to the choice of its
hyperparameters. In an FL setting, hyperparameter
optimization poses new challenges. In this work, we
investigated the impact of different hyperparameter
optimization approaches in an FL system. In an
effort to reduce communication costs, a critical
bottleneck in FL, we investigated a local
hyperparameter optimization approach that – in
contrast to a global hyperparameter optimization
approach – allows every client to have its own
hyperparameter configuration. We implemented these
approaches based on grid search and Bayesian
optimization and evaluated the algorithms on the
MNIST data set using an i.i.d. partition and on an
Internet of Things (IoT) sensor based industrial
data set using a non-i.i.d. partition.}

model charge transport in nanoscale devices. This
stochastic transport equation makes it possible to
describe device variability, noise, and
fluctuations. We present---as theoretical
results---an existence and local uniqueness theorem
for the weak solution of the stochastic
drift-diffusion-Poisson system based on a
fixed-point argument in appropriate function
spaces. We also show how to quantify random-dopant
effects in this formulation. Additionally, we have
developed an optimal multi-level Monte-Carlo method
for the approximation of the solution. The method is
optimal in the sense that the computational work is
minimal for a given error tolerance.}

abstract = {A 3d simulator for nanowire field-effect sensors and
transistors including fast varying charge
concentrations at an interface is presented. This
simulator is based on a system of partial
differential equations calculating the electrostatic
potential of the whole device and the charge
concentrations in the semiconducting
nanowire. Therefore, three domains need to be
modeled. The nanowire is described by the
drift-diffusion-Poisson system, the
Poisson-Boltzmann equation is used for the
simulation of an aqueous solution, and the Poisson
equation holds in the remaining oxide. Such devices
can be used as gas sensors, and by functionalization
of the nanowire surface, i.e., by attaching probe
molecules, they can also be used for the detection
of biomolecules in aqueous solutions. Binding of
target molecules to the surface induces a field
effect due to changes of charges in a small layer
around the surface. This effect is responsible for
the sensor response and hence is of paramount
importance. A homogenization method resulting in two
jump conditions is implemented which splits the
computation into the charge of the boundary layer
and into the remaining device. In order to take into
account the geometry of the devices, 3d simulations
are necessary and hence a parallelization technique
has been developed. To include the jump conditions
of the homogenization method, a novel finite-element
tearing and interconnecting (FETI) method has been
developed. With this simulator it is possible to
solve the three dimensional and heterogeneous system
of partial differential equations with
discontinuities in feasible time using realizable
computer power. As a result, sensitivity in terms of
geometrical and physical properties can be predicted
and sensors can be improved.}

where the QD distance can be controlled with atomic
layer control. This distance determines the
interaction of the artificial atom states to form
artificial molecules. The design of QD stacks
becomes complicated since the structures are subject
to inhomogeneous, long-range strain and growth
imperfections such as non-identical dots and
inter-diffused interfaces. This study presents
simulations of stacks consistent of three QDs in
their resulting inhomogeneous strain field. The
simulations are performed with NEMO 3-D which uses
the valence force field method to compute the strain
and the empirical sp3d5s* tight binding method to
compute the electronic structure. Strain is shown to
provide a very interesting mixing between states and
preferred ordering of the ground state in the
top-most or bottom most quantum dot subject to
growth asymmetries.}

electronic structure simulation code for the
analysis of quantum dots, quantum wells, nanowires,

Field (VFF) method for strain and the empirical
tight binding (ETB) for the electronic structure
calculations. Various ETB models are available,
ranging from single s orbitals (single band
effective mass), over sp$^3$s* to sp$^3$d$^5$s*
models, with and without explicit representation of
spin. The code is highly optimized for operation on
cluster computing systems. Simulations of systems of
64 million atoms (strain) and 21 million atoms have
been demonstrated. This implies that every atom is
accounted for in simulation volumes of (110nm)$^3$
and (77nm)$^3$, respectively. Such simulations
require parallel execution on 64 itanium2 CPUs for
around 12 hours. A simple effective mass calculation
of an isolated quantum dot, in contrast, requires
about 20 seconds on a single CPU. NEMO 3-D therefore
offers the opportunity to engage both educators and
advanced researchers, utilizing a single

requires refined models for carrier transport due
to, e.g., unintentional doping in the active channel
region which gives rise to threshold voltage and
on-state current fluctuations. Therefore every
transport simulator which is supposed to accurately
simulate nano-devices must have a proper model for
the inclusion of the Coulomb interactions. This
paper proposes to use a 3D FMM (fast multi-pole
method) (Greengard and Rokhlin, 1997; Cheng et al.,
1999). The FMM is based on the idea of condensing
the information of the potential generated by point
sources in series expansions. After calculating
expansions in a hierarchical manner, the long-range
part of the potential is obtained by evaluating the
series at the point in question and the short-range
part is calculated by direct summation. Its
computational effort is only O(n) where n is the
number of particles. In summary, the use of the FMM
approach for semiconductor transport simulations was
validated. Simulation times are decreased
significantly and effects due to electron-electron
and electron-impurity interactions are observed as
expected. Since the FMM algorithm operates
independently of the grid used in the MC simulation,
it can be easily included into existing MC device
simulation codes.}

various metal lines are used to build up the backend
stack. The output of the feature scale simulations
is used as input to a capacitance extraction tool,

We discuss the utilized simulation

to be considered when employing advanced models and

In this paper
strategies for increasing the accuracy of deposition

presented. Two algorithms were devised: first,
intertwining narrow banding and extending the speed
function yields a fast and accurate level set
algorithm. Second, an algorithm which coarsens the
surface reduces the computational demands of the
radiosity method.
Finally measurements of a typical
TEOS deposition process are compared with
simulation results both with and without coarsening

abstract = {The formation and dissolution of silicon self-interstitial
clusters is linked to the phenomenon of TED
(transient enhanced diffusion) which in turn has
gained importance in the manufacturing of
semiconductor devices. Based on theoretical
considerations and measurements of the number of
self-interstitial clusters during a thermal step we
were interested in finding a suitable model for the
formation and dissolution of self-interstitial
clusters and extracting corresponding model
parameters for two different technologies (i.e.,
material parameter sets). In order to automate the
inverse modeling part a general optimization
framework was used. Additional to solving this
problem the same setup can solve a wide range of
inverse modeling problems occurring in the domain of
process simulation. Finally the results are
discussed and compared with a previous model.}

abstract = {Conventional macroscopic impact ionization models which use
the average carrier energy as main parameter cannot
accurately describe the phenomenon in modern
miniaturized devices. Here we present a new model
which is based on an analytic expression for the
distribution function. In particular, the
distribution function model accounts explicitly for
a hot and a cold carrier population in the drain
region of MOS transistors. The parameters are
determined by three even moments obtained from a
solution of a six moments transport model. Together
with a nonparabolic description of the density of
states accurate closed form macroscopic impact
ionization models can be derived based on familiar
microscopic descriptions.}

abstract = {The optimization of computationally expensive objective
functions requires approximations that preserve the
global properties of the function under
investigation. The RSM approach of using
multivariate polynomials of degree two can only
preserve the local properties of a given function
and is therefore not well-suited for global
optimization tasks. In this paper we discuss
generalized Bernstein polynomials that provide
faithful approximations by converging uniformly to
the given function. Apart from being useful for
optimization tasks, they can also be used for
solving design for manufacturability problems.}

gain cell consisting of two transistors and one MOS
capacitor, representing an alternative to
conventional six transistor SRAMs. Inverse modeling
is used to fit a given device characteristic to
measurement data. To account for de-charging due to
tunneling, we use a simple, non-local tunneling
model and calibrate it with data from literature. By
optimization, we find values for the contact
voltages in the off-region at which the retention
time is a maximum.}

abstract = {Experiments of As-doped poly-silicon deposition have shown
that under certain process conditions step coverages
> 1 can be achieved. We have developed a new model
for the simulation of As-doped poly-silicon
deposition, which takes into account surface
coverage dependent sticking coefficients and surface
coverage dependent As incorporation and desorption
rates. The additional introduction of Langmuir type
time-dependent surface coverage enabled the
reproduction of the bottom-up filling of the
trenches. In addition the rigorous treatment of the
time-dependent surface coverage allows to trace the
in-situ doping of the deposited film. Simulation
results are shown for poly-Si deposition into
0.1$\mu$m wide and 7$\mu$m deep, high aspect ratio
trenches.}
